  • Publication number: 20060163873
    Abstract: A connection assembly for attaching a pipeline to a distributor of a fuel or hydraulic system includes a threaded bushing placed adjacent to the distributor and having an internal bore in alignment with a connecting bore of the distributor, wherein the threaded bushing has a sealing seat. Disposed at one end of the pipeline is a sealing head which has a sealing surface and a pressure surface. The sealing surface and the pressure surface are each configured in the shape of a spherical segment defined by a radius of curvature having a center, wherein the center of the radius of curvature of the sealing surface is distanced from the center of the radius of curvature of the pressure surface. A union nut intended for connecting the pipeline to the threaded bushing forces the sealing surface of the sealing head in a pressure-tight manner against the sealing seat of the threaded bushing by at least indirectly acting upon the pressure surface.
