Remotely controllable tube connection and multi-purpose tool therefor.

摘要

In a remotely-controlled, detachable pipe connection (1), having two pipe ends (2, 11), each of which has a flange (3, 12), a mounting screw (17), for pressing together the two flanges (3, 12), has two thread regions (46, 52) which become effective in succession when the flanges are pressed together. The first thread region (52) engages with a significantly greater pitch than the second thread region (46) in a threaded hole (16) of the one flange (3), while the second thread region (46) preferably engages in a threaded hole (26) of a sleeve (25) supported on the other flange (12). The screw (17) and sleeve (25) can be operated with a combination tool (100). The invention is applicable particularly for nuclear installations.
