ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a collet for locking a tube in a coupling body, comprising a plastics molding including an annular sleeve, having a plurality of axially extending resilient arms, two of which have spring metal clips snapped around and locked to the free ends of the arms. The clips have inwardly angled teeth to bear against and grip a tube extending on the inner side of the arm through the collet to prevent the tube from being withdrawn from the collet.
