  • Publication number: 20140334894
    Abstract: A screwable element (10) for fastening an object, in the form of a plastic conduit for example, to a counterpiece such as a connection to another conduit or a device connection, consists of a first part (14) rotatable manually or with a tool, and a second part (16) furnished with a threaded portion (15), wherein the first and second parts are rotatable relative to one another about the longitudinal axis (18) of the screwable element, but can be fixed to one another axially via a connection point (20), and a unit (24, 26) limiting the torque that can be transmitted from the first part onto the second part. Said unit comprises at least one spring part (24) that is rotatable with the first or the second part, is resilient in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the screwable element and cooperates with detents (26) of the respective other part.
