English term or phrase: bite olives

Ik heb geen flauw idee wat in de volgende zin met "bite olives" bedoeld wordt:

This will enable the element to be pushed through the flange enough to expose the two ***bite olives***.

Het hele stukje waarin dit voorkomt is:
Remove the top nuts from the two mechanical fittings (using special tool Extended Reach Socket Spanner) securing the element needing replacement. This will enable the element to be pushed through the flange enough to expose the two bite olives.
Cut through the element between each olive and the flange, enabling the element to be withdrawn back through the flange and baffle assembly.
he new element should be checked electrically before fitting using two new olives and following the reverse procedure. Note that the internal sharp edge in the olive should go on first and ensure that the ends of the new element protrude through the flange by the same amount as the other elements.

Alvast hartelijk dank voor alle suggesties.

snijring

Explanation:
Compression fittings for attaching tubing (piping) commonly have ferrules (or olives in the UK) in them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_fitting

Wagenaar Hummelinck geeft 'metalen dop, snijring' voor 'ferrule', in combinatie met 'bite' is snijring dan misschien wel aardig - maar meer dan een gok is het niet.

kralen

Explanation:
ik neem aan dat er geen plaatje bij staat, maar als ik het zo lees dan doet het me erg aan echte olijven denken, en dan zou "kraal" een redelijke vertaling zijn...

"The way I did it was to tighten the compression fittings either side fully (for the arms), then with the top compression fitting, fully tighten it (the olive bites into the copper pipe)...

Note to reference poster

Asker: Hi Sindy, hartelijk dank voor je input. Het moet mijns inziens ook snijringen zijn, aangezien "bite ferrules" dat ook zijn. Ik kon de uitdrukking "bite olives" niet thuisbrengen, vooral ook omdat het document Amerikaans Engels zou moeten zijn. Na de suggestie van Ron wist ik het eigenlijk al.
