Abstract
A universal connection socket includes in one embodiment a plurality of spaced radially inwardly projecting barbs spanning opposite sides of a circumferential O-ring receiving groove and dimensioned to grip, when crimped, a fluid conduit in sealable engagement within the socket. In another embodiment of the invention, an annular recess adjacent the O-ring groove releasably receives a locking sleeve for a push-type connector for compressing the O-ring during insertion of a conduit. The sleeve is subsequently partially withdrawn and has an inwardly extending locking barb to engage the conduit, lockably holding the conduit in place. An outwardly extending gripping edge cams the locking barb as a locking wedge is inserted between the end of the socket and the annular flange of the sleeve.
