METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONNECTING SMALL DIAMETER TUBING

摘要

A union for coupling two or more segments of tubing (11) or optical fiber, having an elastomeric core (2) with two or more tubular sections encased in a through bore of a union body (4), the ends of the union body bore having compression nuts (10) having through bores for insertion of segments of tubing or optical fiber to be coupled, which, tubular sections, when compressed by the compression nuts, deform radially inwardly to hold and seal the segments of tubing or optical fiber inserted therein. The union housing (6) also has a window cut-out (9).
