I bought a SS 1/2 MPT to 1/2 compression elbow fitting and when I took the compression nut off out dropped 2 ferrules. I wasn't expecting that and now I do not know the order that they are installed on the copper tubing. I slide the nut on the tube, then what?. Does any one know the order and orientation of the twin ferrules for making the compression connection? Thanks!

this type of compression fitting is called swagelok. you will slide the nut on the tube, then the smaller fitting, then the bigger one. slip the tube into the fitting and tighten.
