Abstract
A fitting for sealingly and fixedly coupling to a component that includes a body having a first insertion end that defines a first end face and a cavity. The cavity has an interior surface. A first seal is adapted to engage a first component when the first component is inserted through the insertion end and into the cavity. The seal extends into the cavity from the interior surface of the cavity. A band of sealant is located about a perimeter of the cavity. The band of sealant is adapted to seal the interior surface and the first component. The body is crimped around the first component to secure the fitting to the first component and seal the interior surface to the first component.
