Zusammenfassung:The disclosed system, device and method for providing a substantially leak-proof tube/manifold seal generally includes a partially deformable polymeric ferrule ( 100 ), a retaining ring ( 110 ) and a nut ( 130 ) configured to drive and deform the ferrule ( 100 ) against a receiving manifold surface ( 144 ). Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to improve tube seal seating and/or engagement. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally allow for the use of tube coupling hardware (e.g., ferrules) that would otherwise need to be reworked, replaced or discarded.
