Abstract
An end fitting provides a coupling for a pair of parts which may be misaligned. One of the possibly misaligned parts is a nut having a bore therein. The other part is a ferrule fitting in the bore and, preferably having a lip seal thereon. A pair of confronting annular U-shaped slots are formed in the two parts, with a pin wire ring resting in the slots in order to join the two parts. The cross-sections of the two U-shaped slots are skewed with respect to a perpendicular to the bore, by an angle in the range of 6-degrees to 45-degrees, with the preferred angle being 15-degrees. The pin wire ring rides up and down the resulting tapered walls of the slots to compensate for any misalignment.
