compression fitting

Explanation:
for joining tubing to something else or joining two lengths of tubing (apparentlyh a variant of variant of knelfitting in the plumbing context)

For knefitting and compression fitting, see the numerous hits with google image searching.

There is also one hit with a telescopic tubing using compression fittings to secure the tubing at the desired extension, and an 'outsider' that uses a different sort of compression fitting for securing a guard railing (but it doesn't have to provide a gas-tight or water-tight seal).
