Zusammenfassung:A fitting for a conduit (T) has a first fitting component (112) adapted to receive the conduit end; a conduit gripping device such as a ferrule (132) or ferrules, and a second fitting (114) component that can be joined to the first fitting component (112) to cause the conduit gripping device (132) to grip the conduit (T) and seal when assembled. In one aspect of the invention, a portion of the second fitting (114) component at least partially retains the conduit gripping device (132). The retaining portion can also be configured to retain the conduit gripping device to the second fitting component prior to installation and in a finger-tight condition. In another aspect of the invention, a tool is provided to retain a fitting component (112) and a conduit gripping device prior to assembly of the fitting and conduit gripping device to a conduit end.
