Re: General Pneumatic Advice and Help

Wren,
Theoretical question: Given that the sealing surface of a push to connect fitting is the OD of the tube, well away from the end, why is the end of tube geometry critical to the sealing of the fitting? In other words, WHY does the end of the tube need to be perfectly square to seal properly?
