Hi Paul,

Bump tube is sometimes called beaded tube. The end of the tube has been pressed in a die to form a ridge around it. This is what the O ring sits up against to make the seal. The bump or ridge also gives something for the retaining nut to run up against to keep the fitting in place.



Cheers
