What is claimed is: 1. A fitting for use with metal tubing in a jacket, the fitting comprising: an adaptor having exterior threads at a first adaptor end, the adaptor having a longitudinal passage for fluid flow; a body having interior threads at a first body end, the interior threads engaging the exterior threads to secure the adaptor to the body in a first body cavity; and a jacket lock ring being a separate element from the body, the jacket lock ring positioned at a second body end, the jacket lock ring including barbs, the barbs for engaging a surface of the jacket; a vent opening formed through an exterior wall of the body into a second body cavity, the second body cavity for receiving the tubing. 2. The fitting of claim 1 wherein: the body includes a frusto-conical recess at a distal portion of the second body end, the locking ring positioned in the frusto-conical recess. 3. The fitting of claim 1 further comprising: a sealing member positioned in the first body cavity; a shoulder extending radially inwardly into an interior of body; the sealing member positioned between the shoulder and a first adaptor end. 4. The fitting of claim 3 wherein: the adaptor first end includes a adaptor sealing surface; the sealing member includes a sealing surface; the adaptor sealing surface and sealing surface coacting to compress tubing therebetween. 5. The fitting of claim 3 wherein: the body includes an o-ring groove formed on an interior surface of the body at the first body end proximate the adaptor. 6. A fitting for use with metal tubing in a jacket, the fitting comprising: an adaptor having exterior threads at a first adaptor end, the adaptor having a longitudinal passage for fluid flow; a body having interior threads at a first body end, the interior threads engaging the exterior threads to secure the adaptor to the body in a first body cavity; and a jacket lock ring positioned at a second body end, the jacket lock ring including barbs, the barbs for engaging a surface of the jacket, wherein the body includes a frusto-conical recess at a distal portion of the second body end, the locking ring positioned in the frusto-conical recess; a vent opening formed through an exterior wall of the body into a second body cavity, the second body cavity for receiving the tubing; and a seal nut having seal nut threads on an interior surface thereof; the body having exterior body threads at the distal portion of the second body end proximate the frusto-conical recess, the seal nut threads engaging the exterior body threads. 7. A fitting coupled to metal tubing in a jacket, the fitting comprising: a adaptor having exterior threads at a first adaptor end, the adaptor having a longitudinal passage for fluid flow; a body having interior threads at a first body end, the interior threads engaging the exterior threads to secure the body to the adaptor in a first body cavity; a jacket lock ring positioned at a second body end, the locking ring including barbs for engaging a surface of the jacket, the body including a frusto-conical recess at a distal portion of a second body end the jacket lock ring positioned in the frusto-conical recess; a seal nut having seal nut threads on an interior surface thereof; the body having exterior body threads at the distal portion of the second body end proximate the frusto-conical recess, the seal nut threads engaging the exterior body threads; a vent opening formed through an exterior wall of the nut into a second body cavity, the second body cavity receiving the tubing; a sealing member positioned in the first body cavity; a shoulder extending radially inwardly into the interior of body, the sealing member positioned between the shoulder and the first adaptor end; the first adaptor end includes a adaptor sealing surface; the sealing member includes a sealing surface; the adaptor sealing surface and sealing surface coacting to compress tubing therebetween. 8. A fitting for use with metal tubing in a jacket, the fitting comprising: an adaptor having exterior threads at a first adaptor end, the adaptor having a longitudinal passage for fluid flow; a body having interior threads at a first body end, the interior threads engaging the exterior threads to secure the adaptor to the body in a first body cavity; and a jacket lock ring positioned at a second body end, the jacket lock ring including barbs, the barbs for engaging a surface of the jacket, wherein the body includes a frusto-conical recess at a distal portion of the second body end, the locking ring positioned in the frusto-conical recess; a seal nut having seal nut threads on an interior surface thereof; and the body having exterior body threads at the distal portion of the second body end proximate the frusto-conical recess, the seal nut threads engaging the exterior body threads.
