A fluid transport coupling subcomponent can include a body having a first axial end with a first axial face, a second axial end, and a hollow conduit extending between the first and second axial ends, a tongue extending longitudinally from the first axial face; and a groove recessed into the first axial face. The tongue can extend a distance, D.sub.T1, from the first axial face and the groove can extend a distance, D.sub.G1, into the body from the planar face, where D.sub.G1 and D.sub.T1 can be different.

A conduit coupling adapter for securing attaching a conduit to an enclosure. The conduit coupling adapter generally includes a first end for receiving a conduit and attaching to it via an adhesive, and a second end coupled to the second end comprises threads and is configured for attaching to an enclosure using a locknut.

The present invention relates to a connection system for components through which fluid flows in medicine and medical equipment, comprising a male connection cone (6, 30) and a threaded nut (7) least partially surrounding the connection cone (6) and having an internal thread (9), for captively connecting the male connection cone (6, 30) to a female receptacle of an additional component through which fluid flows. The invention is characterised in that the threaded nut (7) has radially circumferential through-holes (10) at least in some sections in the axial section of the circumferential jacket of the threaded nut and webs (11, 11) are formed adjacent to the through-holes in the circumferential jacket, sections of the internal thread (9) being arranged on the inside of said webs in relation to the circumferential jacket. Furthermore, the invention also relates to the production of the connection system and to its use.

A housing component includes a line segment of a hydraulic line. The line segment has at least one channel that opens into a widening. The widening extends to outside of the housing component. A spatially limited sealing surface enclosing the channel is provided in the widening. A seal comprising an adhesive is joined to the sealing surface at least adhesively. A method for manufacturing such a housing component includes layered manufacture of the sealing surfaces.

A pipe-fitting includes a plurality of pipe receiving portions, a hollow joint for connecting the plurality of pipe receiving portions to each other, a sealing member received in a sealing member-receiving groove, and a plurality of hollow fixing-caps, wherein each fixing-cap is screwed to a distal end of each pipe receiving portion to press the sealing member to be brought into close contact with each pipe. A fixing-cap stopper is formed on an outer circumferential face of each pipe receiving portion. The fixing-cap stopper includes a fixing-cap fixing portion including a plurality of fixing protrusions protruding toward a proximal end of the fixing-cap. A plurality of fixing-protrusion-receiving grooves is defined in the proximal end of each fixing-cap for receiving the fixing-protrusions therein respectively.

A composite metal and polymer pipe coupling is provided. Embodiments include a coupling having a metal pipe body, and a rigid polymer liner affixed to and completely covering an inside surface of the pipe body. Opposite ends of the liner each have a circumferential raised end section extending toward a longitudinal axis of the pipe body. The liner also has a circumferential pipe buttress near a middle of the liner extending toward the longitudinal axis. An elastomeric gasket engages the liner adjacent an interior side of each of the raised end sections of the liner. The raised end sections are each configured to receive and hold the end of a pipe centered relative to the pipe body, such that its corresponding gasket seals the pipe end around an entire circumference of the pipe end when the pipe is inserted into the coupling until it contacts the pipe buttress.
