Fluid line connector

A fluid line connector comprising:

• a body having an externally threaded first end, an externally threaded second end, and
• a central axial passageway;
• an annular first seal disposed in the axial passageway at the first end of the body;
• an annular second seal disposed in the axial passageway at the second end of the body;
• a first ferrule and sealing ring member having one portion that defines a generally annular first sealing ring disposed adjacent the first seal and another portion that defines a tapered and slotted first ferrule;
• a second ferrule and sealing ring member having one portion that defines a generally annular second sealing ring disposed adjacent the second seal and another portion that defines a tapered and slotted second ferrule;
• a first nut threaded on the first end of the body capturing the first ferrule and sealing ring member between the first nut and the first seal;
• a second nut threaded on the second end of said body capturing the second ferrule and sealing ring member between the second nut and the second seal;
• the first nut being internally configured such that when the first nut is tightened onto the first end of the body, it urges the first sealing ring against the first seal to compress the first seal and collapses the slotted first ferrule radially inwardly for gripping a fluid line;
• and
• the second nut being internally configured such that when the second nut is tightened onto the second end of the body, it urges the second sealing ring against the second seal to compress the second seal and collapses the slotted second ferrule radially inwardly for gripping a fluid line.
