How does a ferrule work?

As the ferrule(s) moves axially into the fitting body, the body's angled shape radially compresses the end of the ferrule onto the outer diameter of the tubing. It is this radial compression that creates the leak tight seal between the fitting, ferrule, and tubing, and gives the compression fitting its name.
