ABSTRACT:
A connection for securing a tank to a header plate in a heat exchanger. A metal header plate is provided with a peripheral groove having a bottom wall and an upstanding side wall. A compressible gasket is received in the groove in a plastic tank as a flange disposed in the groove to compress the gasket. A plurality of tabs are deformed from the side wall to overlie a side of the flange and the side wall bent toward the tank. The tabs are generally egg-shaped or spherical and have free edges engaging the flange to provide excellent resistance to deformation.
