ABSTRACT:
A fluid coupling for connecting a corrugated tube to a fitting. The coupling includes an annular compression member having an opening therethrough which extends from a forward end portion receivable coaxially over the tube to a rearward end portion threadably engagable with the fitting to urge the tube into a fluid-tight engagement therewith. The forward end portion of the opening has a rearward first end, a forward second end defining the inner diametric extent of the opening, and an inner radial surface extending therebetween from a rearward gland portion to a forward camming portion. An annular locking member is journalled within the gland to be received therewith over the tube. The locking member is expandable within the gland by the crest portions of the tube as the locking and compression members are received thereover, and is compressible within a root portion of the tube responsive to the bearing of the compression member camming surface thereon as the compression member is threadably engaged with the fitting. When compressed, the locking member delimits the forward advancement of the tube out of the opening of the compression member.
