The disclosure relates to tube couplings in which a hollow body (10) has an opening (11) to receive a tube (15) and a collet (32) having resilient arms encircling the tube in the body to grip the tube. An annular cam (22) is mounted in the body and has a tapered internal cam surface (31) engaged by the collet arms (33) which reduces towards the open end of the body to increase compression of the arms against the tube as the collet is drawn towards the open end of the body to lock the tube in the body. The cam member (27) is mounted in the body for axial adjustment with respect to the body, for example by a screw engagement (28) in the body, to enable the cam to be adjusted with respect to the collet to vary the compressive force applied to the resilient arms. |
