The adapter comprises two mating body portions which have passageways for receiving a tubing end portion. A tubing is received in and fixed in the passageways and is adapted to contract around the tubing end portion when the body portions are pulled away from each other. Additionally, a locking mechanism is provided for releasably locking the body portions together in a pulled apart position with the tubing end portion captured in the tubing.
