Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for creating a permanent and fluid tight tube joint in a length of plastic tubing, the tubing including a terminal end, the apparatus including a manifold for receiving the plastic tubing, the manifold including structure defining a first counterbore presenting a tubing terminal end engaging face, structure defining a second counterbore presenting a seal engaging face, and the manifold further presenting a manifold coupling face. A seal is receivable within the second counterbore and a gripping element is receivable within the manifold and adapted for fixedly engaging the tubing. A retainer includes a compressive member and a retainer coupling face, the retainer compressive member receivable within the second counterbore for operably, compressively engaging the seal. The retainer coupling face and the manifold coupling face are mutually abuttably oriented when the retainer compressive member is received within the second counterbore, whereby the manifold coupling face and the retainer coupling face can be operably fixedly coupled together to permanently attach the retainer and manifold together with the seal compressed to provide a fluid tight coupling of the tubing with the manifold.
