pressure

My comment:

"avalage" means "faire descendre." In this case, I think it means that one has to apply pressure on the joint while assembling. If you have a picture, this may help confirm my guess.

My comment:

This word avalage could mean so many different things. It is mainly used with the flow of liquids (avalage de salive, avalage d'eau, etc).
In the case of a joint in a pipe, I can think of no other answer.

(joint) shaft

My comment:

Couldn't find much of anything, but in one of my technical dictionaries, "avaler" can mean to "sink down a shaft." Found a lot of hits for "joint shaft" "automotive." As you can easily tell, this is more of a guess than anything else.
