  • Publication number: 20220356971
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a pipe joint allowing reliable connection to a pipe P without flaring. [Means of solving problem] The pipe joint includes a flare joint body 1F, a cap nut 2, and a stop ring 3. A curved pressure-contacting slope surface 32 of the stop ring 3 contacts a slope surface 5 with reduced-diameter tip of the flare joint body 1F under pressure to establish sealing by means of mutual contact between metallic surfaces. The pipe P is grasped in a tightly pressure-contacting state using a back tooth and a front tooth formed at a tip head 37 of a substantially cylindrical thin part 35 of the stop ring 3.

  • Publication number: 20100230957
    Abstract: A pipe joint wherein before insertion of the pipe, the cap nut and joint body are held in a state where the fastening ring is not pushed against the tapered inner surface and compressed and wherein, at the time of pipe insertion, the fastening ring is prevented from obstructing insertion of the pipe and from scratching the inserted pipe whereby leakage of fluid is prevented. This pipe joint is provided with a joint body having a male thread formed at one end and a shoulder continuing from the same, a cap nut having a female thread to be screwed over the male thread, and a C-shaped retainer ring arranged so that its outer surface abuts against a tapered inner surface formed in a through hole of the joint body or the cap nut, wherein a detachable spacer is arranged in a state held between the shoulder of the joint body and the cap nut.
