ABSTRACT:
A threaded fitting, having an external thread and sealing surfaces to match standard tubing fitting designs. The fitting has an internal bore which is defined by two coaxially aligned cavities; an upper cavity is the diameter to receive a standard diameter tubing end, and has a bottom end defined by a metal web which extends into the bore of the fitting a distance. This web forms a stop upon which a tubing end can be bottomed. A counter groove is cut into the fitting adjacent to the upper cavity for receiving the tubing end. In use, a brazing metal ring is inserted into the upper counter groove, and a tubing end is inserted into the first cavity, and bottomed against the web. The fitting and tubing end are then clamped or held and a tapered mandrel, of a diameter equal to the inner diameter of the tubing, is inserted upward into the second cavity; this mandrel deforms the web upward into the interior of the tubing end, forming a positive mechanical seal and lock between the tubing and fitting.
