Abstract

See full text

A fitting for attaching flexible tube to rigid tube comprises a fluid passageway, a tubular metal body, and a polymeric body. The fluid passageway extends through the tubular metal body and the polymeric body is interlocked with the metal body. The polymeric body encircles the fluid passageway and the metal body. A portion of the polymeric body that encircles the metal body forms a male fitting that comprises at least one annular rib or barb and that is configured and adapted to snugly slip into the end of a flexible tube with a press fit. A portion of the polymeric body extends beyond the metal body along the fluid passageway and defines a female socket that is configured and adapted to snugly receive an end of a rigid tube. The socket is configured and adapted to be solvent bondable to polymeric material.
