Abstract
A conduit coupling includes a tubular member having a bore formed in one end for receiving one end region of a relatively harder conduit. A ferrule is engaged onto the conduit and has one end region engageable into the end region of the tubular member. A ring has one end region engageable into the other end region of the ferrule and forcible toward the ferrule for both expanding the other end region of the ferrule and moving the ferrule toward the tubular member, to solidly engage the end region of the ferrule onto the outer peripheral surface of the conduit.
