Abstract

See full text

A braze-free connector for joining a pair of flow lines in leak tight manner. The connector has a tubular body with entranceways at each end face of the body that converge inwardly and open into the central passage of the body. A flow line is inserted into the body through each entranceway so that the lines meet in abutting contact at about the midsection of the body. A collapsible metal ferrule surrounds each of the lines and is at least partially housed within each entranceway. Members having internal threads that are mated with external threads on the body are arranged to advance the ferrules into the entranceway whereupon the ferrules are forces radially into metal to metal sealing contact with the tubes by the converging wall surfaces of the entranceways.
