ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a fitting for tubes wherein a flat face fitting having a sealing face perpendicular to the fitting axis may be sealed to a metallic tube without modification to the tube. An annular ferrule mounted upon the tube includes a head having a flat radial surface for engaging the fitting seal face, and the ferrule includes an annular deformable sleeve portion having internal serrations deformed into a metal-to-metal sealing relationship with the tube by a compression nut threaded upon the fitting body. The ferrule and nut include abutment surfaces which engage to limit nut tightening preventing over-stressing of the ferrule and fitting components.
