ABSTRACT:
A multiple flare-type compression fitting comprises a body member having a plurality of axially extending hollow nipples positioned adjacent one end (or both ends). One or more passageways within the body member communicate with the passageways in the nipples. A compression disk has cooperating stepped passageways with the enlarged sections arranged to surround the outer wall of an associated nipple with a flexible tube extending thereover, with the narrow sections accommodating the passage of the flexible tubes therethrough. The junction between the enlarged and narrow sections of each disk passageway form a relatively sharp corner for compressing a tube against the associated nipple when the disk is seated against the body member. The compression disk is rotatably carried by a nut which engages external threads on the body member so that when the nut is tightened the compression disk is in a seated position to secure the tubes in place. Anti-rotation elements such as one or more bores in the body member and cooperating pins on the compression disk inhibit rotational movement of the disk relative to the body member during the tightening procedure.
