Tech/Engineering - Metrology / Water meters
German term or phrase: Kopfverschraubung
"Kopfverschraubung über die Patrone bis zum Gehäuse schieben."
Sorry, but that is all I have.
It would appear to be the piece of piping connecting the water meter with the inlet pipe, the thread being on the inside. But not being an engineer and not having any more info, I'm floundering.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

English translation:Head/Main Screw Fitting
Explanation:
I found English translation as "Cap Screw Fitting"in this granted European Patent. From Drawing and description it is shown as reference numeral 15, which is a screw for tightening the casing of the water meter claimed in claim 6 thereof.

Hope this is helpful !
