ABSTRACT:
A fastener for securing a tube assembly to a mating assembly in a sealing engagement includes a vertical member and two integrally formed side members each having an inwardly projecting lip for forming a vertical slot with the vertical member. The mating assembly includes an assembly mount with integrally extending side ribs for engaging the inwardly projecting lip of each side member of the fastener. The tube assembly includes a circular rib near the end of a tube which engages the back of the vertical member of the fastener when the fastener and mating assembly are engaged. An "O-Ring" seal located between the circular rib of the tube and the mating assembly mount is compressed forming a sealing engagement between the tube assembly and the mating assembly.
