  • Patent number: 7566078
    Abstract: A system for assembling a high-pressure fluid tube on a tubular pin, is part of a fitting element provided to be used in particular on motor-vehicles, for example for the production of pipes intended for manufacturing braking circuits or other circuits, in which high-pressure oil or other fluids flow. The system has a first inner layer made of plastic, a second layer made of a steel plait or other suitable material such as fibers or the like, a third coating layer of plastic material and a bush made of steel, alloy or other material, fitted into an end of the tube. The tube is fitted on the pin and locked by crimping of a metallic bush having a radial flange extending into an annular groove of the pin and distorting an O-ring in the groove between the flange and the pin.
