<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>A one-piece unitary compression clamp (10) for securing a pipe or tube on a <br/>fitting.The clamp (10) may include at least one inward deformation (14) that <br/>provides an interference fit between the clamp (10) and the pipe or tube. <br/>Consequently, the clamp (10) cannot fall off the pipe or tube before being <br/>permanently crimped, and the fitting is prevented from falling out of the <br/>tube. n a second embodiment, the clamp (100) includes an ear (102) for <br/>crimping the clamp (100) to the tube, and a tongue (104) within the clamp <br/>(100) and overlying the mouth (105) of the ear (102) to provide uniform <br/>compression around the entire tube.<br/>
