<p>A multiple-piece swagable fitting (10) for connecting tubes (12, 14) to one another is formed from a coupling body (16), a ferrule (18) and a nut (20) for securing the coupling body (16) to the ferrule (18). The coupling body (16) has an inner portion ending in a first faying surface, an outer portion for receiving one of the tubes to be connected, an interior surface (22) defining an axial bore therethrough, and an exterior surface (24) adapted to fit within dies (36, 38) of an external swaging tool (40). The ferrule (18) has an inner portion ending in a faying surface, an outer portion for receiving a second tube to be connected, an interior surface defining an axial bore therethrough, and an exterior surface adapted to fit within dies of an external swaging tool.</p> |
