FITTING FOR METAL PIPE AND TUBING

摘要

FITTING FOR METAL PIPE AND TUBING A tube fitting for connection with a tube (364) includes first and second flanged members (366, 378) and a ferrule (382) between the first and second flanged members. The ferrule (382) engages the tube (364) to form a tube grip and seal when the first and second flanged members (366, 378) are drawn together. A method includes the steps of providing first and second flanged members (366, 378) on a tube (364), providing a ferrule (382) on the tube between the first and second flanged members and drawing the first and second flanged members together to cause the ferrule to engage the tube to form a tube grip and seal. A tapered clamp (360) may be used to draw the flanged members together.
