A method of controlling hoses and pipes is provided. A hose or pipe has at least three segments that are connected together to create joints. The segments are connected such that fluid channels of the segments are in fluid communication with each other. An elongate tether is positioned across each of the joints. Each of the elongate tethers is attached to one of the segments adjacent the joint and the adjacent segment adjacent the joint. A zipper line is provided to add additional control. The zipper line has a first end connected to a first anchoring structure and a second end connected to a second anchoring structure. The zipper line is attachable to each of the elongate tethers attached to the at least three segments.

Safety conduit system includes a pair of couplings, each including an elongate fitting or housing having barbs at one end and spaced apart teeth at an opposite end. A conduit made of a thermoplastic hose, and stainless steel reinforcement around the hose is attached at each end to the barbed end of a respective coupling. A thread is optionally provided on an outer surface of the housing inward of the barbs so that ferrules on the conduit and having inner threads can threadingly engage with the threads on the couplings and enable the safety conduit system to maintain connection between the conduit and couplings at relatively high fluid flow pressure through the safety conduit system, such as around 40,000 psi.

A thread protector that has an external sleeve to protect pin threads disposed on a pin end of a tubular member. The thread protector also has flange disposed on a first end of the external sleeve to engage with the pin end of the tubular member. The thread protector further includes a securing apparatus extending from the flange to frictionally engage an inside portion of the tubular member to maintain position of the thread protector on the tubular member. A method of protecting the pin threads of the pin ends of the tubular members. The method includes screwing the thread protector on the pin threads of the pin end of the tubular member.

A restraint system for use in securing temporary flow lines that include multiple pipe sections, each pair of pipe sections connected together with a fitting or coupling such as a hammer joint coupling. The system includes multiple pluralities of endless loop slings connected end to end with a cow hitch or girth hitch knot. Disconnectable fittings (e.g., shackles) are placed every three or more slings so that easy disassembly is afforded in case of leakage or other failure.

A method of controlling hoses and pipes that become disconnected under pressure. A first elongated tether that has a first end and a second end is provided. The first end of the first elongated tether is attached to a first hose or pipe adjacent to a first hose or pipe connection end. The first end of the first elongated tether is tightened around the first hose or pipe. The second end of the first elongated ether is attached to a second hose or pipe adjacent a second hose or pipe connection end. The second end of the first elongated tether is tightened around the second hose or pipe.

A hydraulic unit has a hydraulic component, a hydraulic line connected to a hydraulic connection of the hydraulic component, and a hose and fitting connected to the hydraulic connection. A tear-out preventer having a cable loop secured by a cable clamp acts on the hose. The cable clamp comprises a clamping block, which has two crossing passages and a rivet. A first passage, through which the cable is guided, has, in the region of the crossing with the second passage, a width corresponding to at least double the thickness of the cable plus the diameter of the non-deformed rivet. The second passage is configured in a stepped manner with a narrow primary portion arranged on one side of the first passage and a wide secondary portion arranged on the other side. The rivet braces the two strands of the cable against the inner wall of the first passage.

A hose connector is disclosed that provides a magnetized connection of hoses, tubes, cables, ducts, pipes, chains, straps, wires, twine, cord and/or rope creating a continuation in length for versatile and extended flow for, but not limited to, watering needs eliminating conventional connector threads currently requiring multiple turns to release or attach or existing pronged coupling requiring a degree of hand agility and strength. Thereby the disclosed matter provides the means for a fast, single motion attachment or twisting detachment of, but not limited to hose, tube, cable, duct, pipe, chain, strap, wire, twine, cord and/or rope ends without requiring the hand strength or precision that some conventional hose, tube, cable, duct, twine, cord, and/or rope connectors may require. There may be any combination of connecting the ends of hoses, tubes, cables, ducts, pipes, chains, straps, wires, twines, cords, and/or ropes. In some scenarios, flow is not required.

A fluid delivery system having a safety system with interchangeable parts. Also a safety system having a conduit specifically designed to withstand ultra high-pressure fluids exceeding 24,000 psi.
