The disclosure relates to a tube coupling to receive and hold a tube comprising a coupling body (10) having a throughway (11) open at one end (11a) to receive a tube. An annular step (22) is formed in the throughway facing the open end to receive an end of a tube. An end cap (12) engages the coupling body for axial movement between forward and retracted position on the coupling body, the end cap having an opening (15) for the tube to extend through. A seal (23) is located in the coupling body between the step and the open end of the body and in the form of an annular sleeve encircling the throughway, the seal having an out-turned annular flange (24) at one end which engages with the annular step (22) to receive and seal with an end of the tube inserted into the throughway. A compression device (26) in the throughway is operable to compress the sleeve around the outer surface of the tube adjacent said end of the tube to form a seal with the end of the tube.
