ABSTRACT:
An oil-pipe for an auto-engine has a quick-connect coupling. The pipe has a cold-pressed end-shape, which includes a radial flange. A clip abuts the flange, and secures the coupling. The larger the area of the flange, the more secure the clip, and a recess formed into the wall of the pipe immediately behind the flange adds area to the flange without requiring that the flange have a large external diameter. The recess can be rolled in, or can be formed by cold-pressing.
