A nut is rotatably carried by the stem and includes an entry end portion at the outer end thereof. The frusto-conical portion of the stem is adapted to sealably mate with a male "flare" fitting having a conically tapered forward end conforming to the taper of the frusto-conical portion, and the entry end portion of the nut is adapted to sealably engage the O-ring of a male "straight thread O-ring boss" fitting.
