A semiconductor gas pipe fitting fastener is disclosed. The semiconductor gas pipe fitting fastener of the present disclosure includes: a female fitting member connected to a first pipe through which gas that is used in a semiconductor process flows; a male fitting member connected with the female fitting member by being connected to a second pipe opposite to the first pipe; a female nut member supporting the female fitting member therein; a male nut member supporting the male fitting member therein and configured to connect the female fitting member and the male fitting member by being coupled to the female nut member; and a gasket member supported on a side by the female fitting member, supported on another side by the male fitting member, and configured to prevent leakage of gas from the female fitting member and the male fitting member.

A push-fit type fitting that can be used to connect a pipe to either another pipe or a variety of other fittings. The fitting includes a visual indicator that provides a visual confirmation to the user once the pipe has been correctly retained in the device.

The present invention provides an improved tolerance compensation means 50 for a clamp structure 10 formed by a clamping band 1 with first and second end portions 2, 3 adapted to overlap each other as inner and an outer clamping band portions when installing the clamp structure 10 around an object to be fastened. The tolerance compensation means 50 includes adjacent first, second and third band regions 51-53, whereas the second band region 52 has a constant band width Wred smaller than that of the first and third band regions 51, 53.

A fire hose coupling comprises a body having a first end connected to a fire hose and a second end having either male or female threads or, alternatively, a quarter-turn sexless coupler. The fire hose coupling comprises a recessed portion formed in an outer surface of the body. The recessed portion is shaped to define a visuotactile directional indicator such as an arrow. The recessed portion may include a light-reflecting surface to enhance visibility such as a super reflective metal film, a photo luminescent coating, or a phosfluorescent coating. The recessed directional indicator may be formed in female, male or sexless (Storz) couplings.

A locking pipe joint assembly, device and method can employ a center body connector, one or more sealing elements, such as a wiper seal and a sealing ring, a sealing ring retainer and a retaining cap. In various embodiments, primary and secondary fastening rings are employed along with a retaining cap sleeve. In embodiments, the retaining cap includes an internal or external thread that mates with an external or internal thread on one side of the center body connector, which allows the retaining cap to tighten the packing arrangement components around an inserted piping or tubing element, and in secure engagement with the interior of the center body connector. In embodiments, a bolt element is provided for further securing of the retaining cap to the center body connector.

This disclosure relates generally to hose couplings useful for mining applications, more particularly to a fluid coupling capable of generally fully tightened by hand, including a visual lock for visual indication and safety when in a hand-tightened position. The coupling generally includes a male portion, a female portion, a retaining member and a locking member. The male portion passes through the retaining member, and the retaining member threadingly engages the female member. The locking member prevents unthreading of the retaining member from the female member.
