Abstract
A connector for use with flexible tubing comprising first and second coupling sections. The first coupling section has a head and a shank with the head being adapted to be forced through an opening in the wall of the tubing. The second coupling section has a shoulder and can be attached to the first coupling section so that the head and the shoulder clamp a region of the wall of the tubing to provide a strong mechanical connection and a substantially fluid tight connection between the connector and the tubing.
