Abstract:
Illustrative Embodiments may provide for an apparatus and method for fitting a first tube to a second tube. The apparatus may have a first section and a second section. The first section and the second section may engage each other to form a spreine. Each section may engage a sleeve. The spreine may encircle the sleeve encircling the first tube. The spreine may include a slider that may receive a force that may move the spreine and the sleeve, engaged within the spreine, and fit the first tube to the second tube. Fitting the first tube to the second tube may include engaging the sleeve with a first O-ring that may encircle a first ferrule in the first tube, and the sleeve simultaneously engaging a second O-ring encircling a second ferrule in a second tube.
