Abstract

A tube nut and a brake tube assembly are provided. A pipe is disposed within the bore of the nut. A first coating is disposed on an outer surface of the nut. The first coating has a corrosive resistance greater than the bore so as to promote corrosion within the bore. The corrosion forms a seal which is pinched between the bore and the pipe. The tube nut and brake tube assembly may include a second coating disposed on the bore. The first coating has a corrosive resistance greater than the second coating so as to promote corrosion within the bore.
