A vibration suppressing piping member suppresses vibration caused by a pulsating discharged gaseous fluid. The piping member includes a tubular portion and flange portions at both ends of the tubular portion. A bent portion is formed between the two flange portions. The two flange portions are directly connected to each other.

An improved arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section having an increased flow capacity and is a replacement for conventional ninety degree elbows as part of the piping system used to deliver water from a source to a fire sprinkler head. The arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section is integrally formed at one end with a first connecting section and integrally formed at a section end with a second connection section. The connecting sections are positioned ninety degrees relative to each other and the arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section optimizes water flow through both connecting sections.

A female connector for receiving a male connector includes a housing, a support ring, a clip, and a clip blocking member. The male connector includes a groove. The housing includes an outer surface and housing openings. The support ring includes support ring openings. The clip includes an operation portion between a pair of clip legs. The pair of clip legs can pass through the housing and support ring openings. The clip blocking member is located outside the housing and has a pair of blocking faces which face the pair of clip legs. When the groove aligns with the housing and support ring openings, the pair of clip legs enter the groove, and the operation portion moves to a travel end position. In the travel position, the distal ends of the pair of clip legs are between the pair of blocking faces and the outer surface.

An apparatus for coding a first connection partner and a second connection partner of a bayonet lock. The first connection partner has at least two locking arms for locking the connection and is arranged on a fluid line adapter. The second connection partner has a flange ring for guiding through the first locking partner with a number of recesses which corresponds to the number of locking arms for guiding through the locking arms and is arranged on an adapter receiving member. A first locking arm has a different geometry from the other locking arms. A first recess which is associated with the first locking arm has a compatible geometry for positioning the first connection partner and the second connection partner in a predefined position, and the additional recesses have a different geometry which is not compatible with the first locking arm. The apparatus further has a mechanical coding device.

A metal pipe including a curved portion produced by bending in which a plurality of non-bending surfaces and a plurality of bent portions at which the non-bending surfaces are connected in a bending manner are provided on a circumferential surface on an inside being a curvature center side of the curved portion. With this pipe, a good appearance can be maintained, and stagnation and resistance of a flow of a fluid can be reduced on the inner surface side of the pipe where the fluid flows.

This document describes fluid coupling devices for fluid handling systems. For example, some embodiments described in this document relate to fluid coupling devices that snap together, and are then secured to each other using a collar and collet mechanism. Some fluid coupling devices described herein are well suited for use in systems that provide fluid cooling for heat generating devices such as computer hardware. The fluid coupling devices described herein are also suitable for many other uses.

An exhaust elbow includes an inlet, an outlet, a curved gas guiding duct between the inlet and the outlet, and a plurality of thermally insulated stiffeners connected to an external surface of the curved gas guiding duct, each of the stiffeners including a metallic component and thermal insulation adjacent to at least a portion of a surface of the metallic element.

A double wall tube assembly includes an inner tube extending in an axial direction between two opposed ends of the inner tube. A sleeve fitting is mounted to one end of the inner tube. An outer tube outboard of the inner tube extends in the axial direction between two opposed ends of the outer tube. A collar fitting is mounted to one end of the outer tube wherein the collar fitting is outboard of the sleeve fitting.
