There are two types.
One does and one doesn't need washers. The ones that do are essentially
the same as tap connectors for a basin (say), but bigger. The ones that
don't make their seal by mating a conical part of the copper tube with the
inside rim of the cylinder fitting.

Unfortunately the photo does not shower which type it is.
