A device for forming a sealed screw connection for the connection of a pipe (5) to an outlet (3) for a flow medium thermally loading the device, in particular for the connection of an exhaust manifold (5) to an exhaust gas outlet (3) of an internal combustion engine, with drilled holes provided in a fixing flange (7) of the pipe (5) for appropriate threaded bolts (15), and with a sealing arrangement located between flange (7) and outlet (3), is characterized in that an enclosure part (19) is provided that encloses the flange (7) on the side thereof facing away from the outlet (3), while leaving at least one connecting passage (23) clear for the medium and forming an at least partial opening of the other edge regions of the flange (7) penetrated by the threaded bolts (15). In the enclosure part (19), at least one drilled hole has a diameter matched to the threaded bolt (15) associated with said drilled hole, and the drilled holes located in the flange (7) are constructed as elongated holes which facilitate movement of the pipe (5) in a displacement direction at an angle to the threaded bolts (15), and a sealing element of the sealing arrangement is located on both sides of the part (21) of the enclosure part (19) facing the outlet (3). |
