  • MODULAR FITTING WITH GRIPPING DEVICE FOR CONDUITS
    Publication number: 20110089687
    Abstract: A modular fitting for conduits such as tube and pipe comprises a universal body (12) having at least two selectable configurations and at least one or more connecting parts that when joined with the body form a fitting. The body includes a drive member (24) and a conduit gripping member (28), and in an exemplary embodiment the conduit gripping member may be in the form of a conical spring (28) that grips the conduit (c) when axially compressed during pull-up. The modular design for a fitting facilitates postponement of final fitting configuration and assembly beyond the manufacturing facility to an end user or other location and time.
