摘要

Method for positioning a metal connection on a manifold and mechanism of hardware connection / manifold for a heat exchanger.There are provided an assembly of hardware connection / supply pipe and a method for assembling a heat exchanger.The method includes the steps of providing a supply pipe (22) includes a wall (30) which has an opening (32) that crosses it; to provide a connecting hardware (24) includes a body (4)2)A cap (44) which extends from the body (42) and has an inner surface (50) and a hole (54) that extends through the body (42) to allow access to the interior surface (50).; insert the connection (44) in the opening (32) from one side of the wall (30) so that the body (42) of connecting hardware (24) stay on one side of the wall (30) and a portion (48) of the connection (44) fiquAnd on the other side of the wall (30); deforming the inner surface (50) of the connection (44) with a tool to deform (60,104) inserted through the hole (54) in the body (42) to increase the portion (48) to a format which restricts the retraction of the link (44) from the opening (32).
