The grab ring is what physically secures the tubing inside the fitting by biting into the tubing. The angle of the grab ring teeth causes the "bite" to be greater as the tube pressure or load increases, up to a point. At some point, the grab ring will usually bite off the tube or the grab ring will invert, allowing the tube to become disconnected.
Spinning a ring of plastic around your waist is commonly referred to as "hula hooping" or "hooping". It's a fun and popular activity for exercise and entertainment.
Inside the bonnet at the rear of the indicator light fitting is a steel ring. This is a clip-in spring fitting. Once unclipped the indicator unit slides out. The bulb is attached by a simple push on fitting.

An 'O' ring on a push fit fitting can be made from various materials, including neoprene, but it is not exclusively made from neoprene. Other common materials for O-rings include nitrile rubber, EPDM, and silicone, depending on the application's requirements for temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, and flexibility. Neoprene may be used in specific applications, but it's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact material used.

I have a '91 RS with a 2.2 4 cyl engine and came across the pcv valve by accident- it is inside of the valve cover. Look at the top of the valve cover on the passenger side. There will be a hose- one end goes to the intake manifold and the other to a plastic fitting (with a nut) on the vlave cover. Take off hose and unscrew plastic fitting. Fitting will have 3 prongs on it and a "O" ring. Take needle nose pliers and reach into the valve cover to pull out the pcv valve.There should also be a "O" ring on the pcv valve which holds it into place. Put "O" ring on new valve and push back in by hand- you will feel it "snap" in. Screw back in plastic fitting and connect hose.
To disconnect push-to-connect fittings, you need to push in the release ring while simultaneously pulling the tubing out. This action will release the grip on the tubing and allow you to disconnect the fitting.
It depends on the material the ring is made of. If the ring is made of a conducting material such as metal, it will conduct electricity. If the ring is made of an insulating material such as plastic or glass, it will not conduct electricity.

Slide back the plastic cover to expose the "E" clip on the fitting. Remove the "E" clip with a small pick and then wiggle out the transmission line from the fitting. To install, replace the "E" ring first then snap the line back in and replace the plastic cover over the fitting.
If you are talking about the quick disconnect style of fittings (no threaded connections) the fitting is removed by pushing on a circular ring around the tube at the fitting connection. You can buy a special plastic ring release tool from Harbor Freight or most auto part stores fairly cheap. The ring tool snaps around the metal transmission line, then slides up to connector fitting. By pushing on the fitting release ring, you are releasing the tension of the spring fingers on the ring, allowing the fitting to be pulled apart. It can be tricky, you may have to push the fitting together to allow the spring fingers to "un-bite" the connection while you are pushing the release ring at the same time. Once it releases, it comes apart so easy, you wonder why it looks so difficult to remove. Go check out a plumbing section at Home Depot and look at the "Sharkbite" style quick fittings--they are the same design and disconnect using the same principal.
No.
all hardware stores sell adaptors to change from copper to plastic. You solder the adaptor to the copper pipe and attach the plastic pipe to this adaptor using screw clamps to tighten the plastic pipe on the adaptor. To be honest. This answer seems like a bush plumbers answer. To be technically correct. In order for you to connect plastic piping to copper piping one fitting is used and it is called a conex fitting, otherwise called cxc fitting. It has a nut and ring on either side of the joint and this type of fitting can be used on either copper or plastic making it ideal. As you tighten the nut the ring inside tightens onto either the plastic or copper making a water tight connection. It is said above that soldering a copper joint and then attaching it to the plastic pipe is the way but in my experience if you try do that, the heat from the soldering will melt the plastic pipe. Take the safer route and more professional route and use conex fittings.
