Abstract
A fitting assembly for forming a fluid-tight seal with an end of a stainless steel tube is provided with a seal seat that is composed of a material that is harder than the material that the stainless steel tube is composed of. The stainless steel tube may be gripped between a bushing and the seal seat to form a fluid-tight seal with the stainless steel tube. The fitting assembly may be tightened so that the stainless steel tube is deformed between the bushing and the seal seat of the fitting assembly.
