ABSTRACT:
A coupling assembly is disclosed for connecting a tube to a housing member. Preferably, the coupling assembly includes a tube end having a pair of spaced apart annular beads defining a groove for receiving a resilient seal ring seated therein and a housing member defining a bore for receiving the tube end. Also, a guide ring preferably centers the tube end in the bore. A clamping assembly is provided according to the present invention which includes symmetric clamping members, each defining a tube engaging portion between a seat portion and a seat engaging portion. The clamping members assemble axially and resiliently flex relative one another to clamp onto the tube as the seat portions axially engage the seat engaging portions.
