A pipe-fitting device according to the present invention includes a fitting body, a fixing nut, and a collet. A first end of the fitting body is rotatably connected to an outer circumferential surface of a first pipe, and a second end of the fitting body surrounds an outer surface of a second pipe. A first end of the fixing nut is rotatably connected to an outer circumferential surface of the fitting body, and a second end of the fixing nut surrounds the outer surface of the second pipe. The collet is provided inside the fixing nut and presses the second pipe when the fixing nut is rotated and tightened. The collet includes a seating portion provided inside the fixing nut, a bending portion in which a bending groove is formed, a pressing portion which presses and seals the second pipe, and a protecting portion which protects the pressing portion.

A coupling for interconnecting a first pipe element and a second pipe element. The coupling comprises a first coupling member on the first pipe element, and a second coupling member on the second pipe element. The second coupling member is dimensioned to receive therein the first coupling member. The coupling also includes a retainer element having threads to engage the first coupling member to retain the first and second coupling members in a coupled state. The retainer element includes a lock feature to prevent inadvertent loosening rotation.

A high capacity universal connector for use in connecting tubular members and a method for sealing the tubular members is provided. First and second tubular members are provided which each have ends that are brought into face-to-face engagement by a connector. A metal sealing element seals against conical surfaces at the ends of the first and second tubular members and enables the entire surface of the end of one tubular member to be bought into engagement with the surface of the end of the other tubular member so as to improve the bending and compression capacity of the assembly comprising the tubular members and the metal sealing element. A metal sealing ring for use in this assembly is also provided, along with a gasket retention assembly.

A fluidic connector intended to enable the circulation of a fluid and includes two parts configured to be coupled, each of the parts comprising a channel, the two channels communicating when the two parts are coupled, the fluid being intended to be conveyed by the two channels, and a locking mechanism configured to bear on a first of the two parts and to exert a force on a second of the two parts in order to hold the two parts in position when the two parts are coupled, the locking mechanism passing through an opening in the first of the two parts.

Method and device for tightening a threaded connection, preferably for connecting pipeline components, wherein the threaded connection to be tightened comprises a connecting element unit having an external thread, a connecting element unit having an internal thread, and a seal element arranged therebetween.

The disclosure relates to a connector that includes at least a female port, wherein the female port is configured for receiving, in a gas tight manner, alternatively, two male connectors of two different given types. The two male connectors can have the same thread pitch and diameter. The female port can include a female thread suitable for respectively receiving threads of the two male connectors. The female port can include two first parts of two different sealing devices, one having a seal and the other being metal-on-metal, each compatible with one of the male connectors, and each of a given type different to the other.

An adapter probe configured for injecting fluid (e.g., liquid, gas) into at least one electrical cable. Particularly for injecting an electrical cable with a fluid when the electrical cable is affixed to a separable connector (e.g., elbow separable connector). Separable connector may be configured to connect sources of energy (e.g., transformer, circuit breaker) with distribution systems via electrical cable (or cable section).

A coupler for connecting to a port, and a method for connecting a coupler to a port are provided. The coupler includes a body, a plunger needle, and a threaded portion. The body includes a radially outward facing surface, a radially inward facing surface, a proximal end, and a distal end. The plunger needle is fixed to the body, and extends in parallel with the body toward the distal end of the body. The threaded portion extends circumferentially around at least a portion of the radially outward facing surface of the body toward the distal end of the body, the threaded portion configured to receive a threaded portion of the port.

A seal-off fitting for a conduit system includes a conduit body defining an inner cavity, at least one conduit port adapted to receive a conduit, and at least one threaded sealing port. The seal-off fitting further includes a threaded seal-off cover engageable with the sealing port, a first coating applied to at least a portion of the conduit body, and a second coating applied to at least of portion of the seal-off cover. At least a portion of the threads of the sealing port and at least a portion of the threads the seal-off cover remain uncoated, with the uncoated threads of the sealing port and the uncoated threads of the seal-off cover defining a flame path for flue gases exiting the conduit body.

An enhanced seal may comprise an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion may comprise an inner cylindrical portion and an inner annular portion. The outer portion may comprise an outer cylindrical portion and an outer annular portion. The inner portion may be made of a harder material than the outer portion and may provide support to the outer portion.
