<p>A fluid fitting made up of telescoping sleeves providing an annular space (44) therebetween adapted to receive the end (45) of a tube (43). The outer sleeve (10) is attached to the inner sleeve (11) by being deflected around annular ridges (40, 41) at one end of the inner sleeve. The sleeves are attached to the tube by swaging the outer sleeve so as to grip the tube between the two sleeves. Grooves (37, 38) in the inner sleeve provide corners (47, 48) which dig into the inner surface of the tube and provide seals and retention, while recesses (29) in the outer sleeve receive deflected material of the tube to prevent rotation.</p> |
