ABSTRACT:
A tube connector comprises an integral sheet metal stamping including a body and a plurality of legs. The body has a centrally disposed securing portion for receipt of a threaded fastener and is of a substantially dished shape presenting sharp peripheral edges for aggressively engaging the interior wall of a tube to resist retrograde movement of the connector axially of said tube. The legs extend generally axially from said body adjacent the periphery thereof and have sharp longitudinal edges for aggressively engaging the interior wall of a tube to resist rotating movement within said tube upon rotating association of a threaded fastener with the centrally disposed securing portion.
