  • Publication number: 20230166708
    Abstract: A union screw (1) for pipes (2) provided with at least one flare (21) comprises a metal base body (10) which accommodates the pipe (20). The union screw (1) further comprises a screw head (12), a threaded portion (13), a contact portion (15) which is configured to abut the flare (21) of the pipe (20), and a functional layer (40) with which the base body (10) is coated at least in the region of the threaded portion (13) and the contact portion (15). The functional layer (40) is multi-layered and consists of at least one base coat (41) and a top coat (42) applied to the base coat (41) at least in some areas. The base coat (41) forms a structure for creating corrosion protection and a far-reaching invariance with regard to the material of the usual friction partners of the union screw (1) which, in addition to a binder, also contains zinc in the form of zinc-containing lamellae (43), which are oriented to lie substantially flat on the base body (10).

  • Patent number: 9784390
    Abstract: A screw connection device for connecting two pipes with flared ends, comprises a screw, a nut and a spacer. The nut has a front end aperture from which an accommodating space extends to a rear end aperture in a rear end wall. A surface of the nut in the accommodating space has a threaded section which extends toward the rear end wall which has a flange face in the accommodating space. In a pre-installed state, the spacer and a first pipe end with a first flare are accommodated in the nut, such that the spacer is held undetachable between the first flare and the internal thread. A second pipe end with a second flare can be held in the accommodating space by the screw, threaded into the nut such that the second flare is pressed against a sealing surface of the spacer and the spacer is pressed with a further sealing surface against the first flare.

  • Patent number: 8172278
    Abstract: A threaded component for connecting piping employed on motor vehicles includes a thread formed thereon and at least one unthreaded, contacting surface. A first coating having a first coefficient of friction is disposed on at least a portion of the thread, and a second coating having a second coefficient of friction is disposed on at least a portion of the unthreaded, contacting surface(s) of the threaded component. The first coefficient of friction is greater than the second coefficient of friction. In an embodiment an anti-corrosion coating is provided between the coatings and the component.
