neutral  Darin Fitzpatrick: This appears to be a different component than the "olive" in my reference, because here the hose goes over the olive, instead of vice versa. Thus, the German term could mean very different parts.

compression ring


Explanation:
Here's a site that calls it an "olive": http://www.diydata.com/techniques/plumbing/joints/compressio...

This appears to be BE usage; I would call it a "compression ring" in AE.
