<p>A compression fitting for sealingly connecting a fluid line (12) to a valve, connector or other fixture. The fitting (14) includes a seat (28) for receiving the end of the fluid tubing (12). A compression nut (30) coaxially mounted to the tubing (12) threadably (20) engages the fitting (14) to create a compression engagement with the tubing (12) and sealingly connect the fluid line (12) to the fitting (14) for directing fluid flow therethrough. The compression nut (30) includes an inner annular groove (40) for receiving a seal member (42). The seal member (42) extends into the throughbore (38) of the compression nut (30) to form a secondary seal against the fitting (14).</p> |
