A connector assembly 100 for a length of corrugated tubing 101. The connector assembly 100 comprising a fitting 102 including a passage 111, a clamping surface 107, a seal 105, and an axial loading means 103 operably connected to the fitting 102. In use, the tubing 101 is in fluid communication with said passage 111 of the fitting 102 and axial movement of said loading means 103 towards said clamping surface 107 urges said tubing 101 against said seal 105 wherein said tubing 101 is thereby sealingly restrained to said fitting 102 and the clamping surface 107 is formed such that, in use, it is capable of causing an end portion of a corrugated tube 101 to form a flare by said end portion being compressed against said clamping surface 107 and against said seal 105 and sealed thereagainst under the action of the loading means 103. |
