A collet (20) is located in the open end of the throughway having a ring (21) and a plurality of flexible arms (22) extending generally axially of the ring 10 into the throughway. The throughway has a tapered cam surface (25) convergent towards said open end and the collet arms having heads (23) at their distal ends for engaging both the cam surface and a tube extending through the collet into the throughway to be compressed against the tube by the 15 cam surface with outward movement of the collet with respect to the throughway tb secure the tube in the throughway. A collet lock (27) is rotatably mounted on the coupling body having one rotary position in which the lock holds the collet (20) in said outward tube securing position and 20 another rotary position in which the collet can move axially with respect to the throughway for release and engagement of a tube by the collet. 10 13 29 23 24 22 14 26 20 1117) 19)12)18-- 21 10 29 23 1428 26 20 15 -21 17 04 ' 23)A 142 26 20 15 -21 |
