Abstract

A tubular connecting arrangement includes, a first tubular having a first shoulder and first threads, a second tubular having a second shoulder and second threads, a seal sealingly engagable to both the first shoulder and the second shoulder, an insert and a sleeve. The insert is attachable to the second tubular and configured to provide radial support to the second tubular. The sleeve threadably engagable with both the first threads and the second threads in response to being rotated in a same direction relative to both the first tubular and the second tubular such that the first shoulder and the second shoulder are moved toward one another to compress the seal therebetween without rotational movement of the first tubular relative to the second tubular.
