End connectors of filament wound tubes are disclosed. The end connector uses an upset region at an end of the filament wound tube as a base for mounting a threaded ring around the tube. The ring is threaded to a sleeve mounted also around this upset region. The sleeve threads to a coupling on the other side of the upset region. The coupling carries means for connecting the filament wound tube to another body. In forming the end connector, the sleeve and coupling are assembled about the upset region and the ring, assembled on the body of the filament wound tube on the other side of the upset, is threaded to the sleeve. |
