ABSTRACT:
A pipe to plate connection for attaching light stools to an overhead structure on ships. A stud gun welds a stud into a plate. The stud is threaded and is received into a cylindrical insert force fit into a length of pipe. The insert is threaded and receives the stud. The insert also has at least one external circumferential groove. Upon the cylindrical insert being force fit into the end of the pipe, the circumferential grooves are covered by the pipe. The pipe is swaged into the grooves of the insert. A tensile force between the pipe and the plate may be formed by a spring washer between the pipe and the overhead. The insert may have the outer surface deformed as by knurling to deform the inside of the pipe upon its insertion to aid in prevention of rotational movement between the insert and the pipe.
