ABSTRACT:
A self-threading joining system for flexible or semi-rigid pipes having two basic elements. The first element or joining end has three zones, the first zone being a hollow stem which outside diameter is slightly greater than the bore of the pipe to be joint; the second zone, which is adjacent to the first one, being a portion of outside thread, which is formed by a widening of the outside diameter of the first zone; said first element ending with the third zone or terminal end, which consists in any known element for networks of flows. The second element is a nut to which said first element or joining end is connected, said nut having three zones: a first zone of single inside thread, which is complementary to the portion of outside thread of the joining end; a second zone or intermediate zone, coaxial and adjacent to said first zone of single thread, consisting in an inside ring-shaped groove, and a third zone, which is coaxial and adjacent to said second intermediate zone, consisting in an inside thread of the die type with a bore enough to produce a thread in the pipe to be joint.
