There are three types of SILTITE ferrule, an appropriate one must be used to fit the tube diameter. The tube in the standard accessory is 0.15 mmID made of deactivated stainless steel, SILTITE ferrule 0.32 (221-72563-05) must be used for it.

If you strongly tighten the ferrule, you can not adjust the position nor reuse it. You should gradually tighten it in about 60 - 90 degree until you feel hard to up-and-down with your hand.
