Abstract:
One aspect of the invention provides a sealing device for connecting a length of corrugated tubing. The sealing device includes: a body member defining a sleeve portion; a nut adapted and configured for threaded engagement with the body member, the nut defining an internal shoulder; and a bushing. The bushing includes: an annular internal rib located on a proximal end, the annular internal rib adapted and configured to engage a corrugation valley of corrugated tubing; a medial external rib adapted and configured to be engaged by the internal shoulder of the nut and to advance the bushing within the sleeve portion of the body member; and a trailing hinged portion located on a distal end. The trailing hinged portion is adapted and configured for inward compression against the corrugated tubing received within the bushing as the nut is advanced over the trailing hinged portion.
