Technologies are described for devices and methods to couple a hose to another hose or apparatus. The device may comprise a first side with at least two barbed fittings, each configured to insert into a flexible hose to create a waterproof seal. A diameter of each barbed fitting may increase in size from a first end of the first side to a second end of the first side. The device may comprise a second side with at least two male fittings, each configured to threadly interact with threads of a female fitting to create a waterproof seal. A diameter of each two male fitting may increase in size from a first end of the second side to a second end of the second side. The device may comprise a separator rim attached to the second end of the first side and to the second end of the second side.

A threaded connection for drilling tubulars includes a tubular box section having a sidewall. The box section has a tapered box portion of an inner surface of the sidewall between a first end and a second end. The tapered box portion has internal threads, a first torque shoulder on a first side of the tapered box portion, and a second shoulder on a second side of the tapered box portion. A threaded collar having internal collar threads is positioned between the second end and the second shoulder. A threaded insert having a tubular body with an inner surface and an outer surface having external insert threads is configured for threadably connecting to the internal collar threads. A direction of the internal threads of the tapered box portion is opposite to a direction of the internal collar threads and the external insert threads.

A threaded connection for steel pipe with improved sealability against the internal and external pressures is provided. A threaded connection 1 includes a pin 10 and a box 20. The pin 10 includes a male thread 11, a nose 12, a pin shoulder surface 13, and a pin sealing surface 14. The box 20 includes a female thread 21, a box shoulder surface 23, and a box sealing surface 24. The box sealing surface 24 has a seal point SP on the taper surface 242 located at the midpoint thereof as determined along the direction of the pipe axis CL. The distance L.sub.SP between the tip of the nose 12 and the seal point SP as measured in the direction of pipe axis CL is 13 mm or larger. The shoulder angle between the pin or box shoulder surface 13 or 23 and a plane VP perpendicular to the pipe axis CL is 2 to 13 degrees. The ratio T.sub.B/T.sub.P of the wall thickness T.sub.B of the box to the wall thickness T.sub.P of the pin 10 as measured at the seal point SP is 1.7 or higher.

In order to prevent gap corrosion at a freely accessible face of a threaded connection (1) in particular when used in sea water the threaded connection (1) is encapsulated in a circumferential tight annular chamber (3) in order to prevent a penetration of sea water to the threaded connection (1) and thus prevent the gap corrosion between the two threads (2, b) of the threaded connection (1) meshing with each other. This is achieved by a particularly pressure tight and long service life primary seal (6) and advantageously a supplemental secondary seal (16), in particular for a threaded connection (1) which seals a cable pass through (15) of a housing (22).

A set for producing a threaded connection, includes first, second, third, and fourth tubular component with axis of revolution, the first tubular component including at each of its ends a first and a second threaded zone provided on the inner peripheral surface of the component, the second tubular component including at each of its ends a third and a fourth threaded zone provided on the outer peripheral surface of the component, the third tubular component including at one of its ends a fifth and a sixth threaded zone respectively provided on the inner and outer peripheral surface of the component, the fourth tubular component including at one of its ends a seventh and an eighth threaded zone respectively provided on the inner and outer peripheral surface of the component. The first and sixth, third and fifth, second and eighth, fourth and seventh threaded zones cooperate with one another on makeup.

A connector component configured for coupling a consumable component to a plasma arc torch is provided. The connector component comprises a body having a proximal end and a distal end disposed along and defining a longitudinal axis. The connector component includes at least two engagement regions disposed radially about the longitudinal axis on a surface of the body. Each engagement region includes at least one engagement feature disposed on the surface of the body. The connector component also includes at least two free regions disposed radially about the longitudinal axis on the surface of the body. Each free region is radially located between a pair of the engagement regions and characterized by an absence of the engagement feature.

A connector which relieves a sealing element of torsional strain having a first threaded engagement, optionally, a second threaded engagement, a void therethrough for receiving a tube, and a sleeve positioned between each threaded engagement and the void. The sleeve relieves the tube of torsional strain from rotating the connector.

A high-pressure gas tank connection structure including: a tank main body; a tank side connector; a connection side connector; and a valve body, the valve body being provided further toward a deep side along the axial direction of the tank main body than the tank side connector, the valve body being urged toward the connection side connector, and, in a case in which the valve body is pushed by a distal end of the convex portion in a state in which the convex portion is joined with the concave portion, the valve body being opened from a closed state, and communicating the interior of the tank main body with the exterior to the tank main body.

Systems and devices include an adapter which connects a pump to a water carrier. The adapter includes a port through which the pump can draw water out of the water carrier. The pump may further include a pump collar, which also includes a port, and connects to the adapter. The pump may be connected to the pump collar.

Provided is a hose including a first connector assembly including a regulator assembly, a second connector assembly, and a hose assembly coupled to the first and second connector assemblies. The hose assembly includes an inner hose member having first and second ends, an outer hose member having first and second ends, a first hose connector assembly coupled to the first ends of the inner hose member and outer hose member and the first connector assembly, and a second hose connector assembly coupled to the second ends of the inner hose member and outer hose member and the second connector assembly.
