Abstract

A threaded joining assembly for joining a first member and a second member that includes a nut having a sleeve-shaped body adapted to be fixed within a hole of the first member. The sleeve-shaped body has a threaded bore portion and a smooth bore portion. The bolt comprises first threads threadingly engaging the treaded bore portion of the nut, a fastening portion connected to the second member, and a sealing portion. The sealing portion comprises at least one sealing rib that engages the smooth bore portion of the nut in a sealed, self-locking relationship. The fastening portion comprises a flange engaging the second member and second threads threadingly engaging a lock-nut such that the position of the second member with respect to the first member may be fine adjusted by the bolt and fixed by clamping the second member between the flange of the bolt and the locknut.
