ABSTRACT:
A fluid connector assembly having a flexible austenitic annealed stainless steel 300 series corrugated convoluted tube. At least one end of the tube has a smooth end which is free of convoluted corrugations. The corrugated portion has a hardness range of 150 to 190 points Vickers and the smooth end of the tube has a range of hardness of 275 to 380 points Vickers. A metal compression nut is used in combination with a metal compression ring in a metal fitting the smooth end to couple. The metal fitting is capable of coupling the fluid connector to another connector.
