  • Method of forming a fluid seal between a tube and fitting
    Patent number: 4089101
    Abstract: A structure for providing a high pressure, fluidtight juncture between a tube or tubing and a fitting or body member in which a bore is provided in the fitting. The bore has a non-circular interior wall adjacent its opening and a threaded wall of lesser diameter interiorly of said non-circular portion. The tube has threads at or near one end which engage the threads of the bore. In addition, the tube is upset or displaced axially with the said end held against movement to flow the tubing into fluidtight sealing engagement with the threads, the non-circular portion of the bore and the transverse or lateral wall portion of the bore wall intermediate said threaded and non-circular portion, and with the exterior surface of the fitting at the bore opening.

  • Pilot light harness for gas stove
    Patent number: 3942825
    Abstract: A pilot light harness for a gas stove including at least one pilot light gas supply tube one end of which is sealingly disposed in a pilot light supply tube manifold or fitting. A method is disclosed for slidingly inserting a pilot light gas supply tube into a recess in a manifold or fitting to a predetermined depth, and thereafter effecting relative movement, axially, between the tube and the manifold to work the metal in and around said recess so as to effect a gastight sealing bead between the supply tube and the manifold.
