ABSTRACT:
An improved tube retaining system is disclosed in which a connector member has a generally conical inner bore which receives a first tube. A generally serpentine sleeve is disposed in the conical bore and contacts both an outer periphery of the first tube and the inner periphery of the bore. The unique configuration of the sleeve ensure that the tube is both easily inserted and securely retained against removal within the connector.
