Abstract
The present disclosure provides an apparatus and method assembling a flexible tube and a fitting body. A combination collet, a second collet, and a compression nut are introduced to an outer surface of a flexible tube. A first end of the flexible tube is introduced to a shoulder of the fitting body such that at least a portion of the flexible tube is inside the shoulder of the fitting body. The compression nut is fastened onto a threaded portion of the fitting body such that a plurality of radial pressure caused by the compression nut causes the combination collet and the second collet to clamp down on the outer surface of the flexible tube.
