The pipe fitting (10) is used for securing a pipe (11) within a screw-threaded bore (12) in a component (13). It includes a nut (14) with an externally threaded portion (17) for screw-threaded engagement with a threaded portion (20) of the component bore (12), and a pipe-gripping ferrule have cooperating first (18) and second (21) abutment surfaces which extend in planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (19) of the component bore (12) (12). when the nut is tightened into the threaded bore, a nose portion (22) of the ferrule (15) cooperates with an inwardly tapering portion (23) of the component bore to form a seal between the pipe (11), ferrule (15) and component bore (12) and to hold the nose portion of the ferrule captive in an indentation (24) in the pipe. |
