A phase controlled sequential gripping tube fitting for gripping a tube therein, the fitting comprising a rear ferrule shaped to receive the tube therein, the rear ferrule having a nose portion and a central body. The tube fitting further comprises a front ferrule having an axially-extending rear portion radially outwardly spaced from the rear ferrule, whereby when the rear ferrule is urged axially in a first direction the rear ferrule grips the tube, and whereby the rear portion of the front ferrule reduces buckling of the rear ferrule.
