A seal for a fluid level sensor assembly mounted in a pipe includes a seal body arranged to be sealingly fitted around a sensor, the seal body having a first side defining a first lip and a second side defining a second lip, the second lip being thinner than the first lip, and a spring mounted to the seal and arranged to move the seal body along the sensor, when mounted around the sensor, such that the second lip provides a seal around the sensor and the first lip wipes the sensor to remove debris thereon.

A coupled pipe joint assembly includes a first pipe element defining a first end; a second pipe element defining a second end, the first end and the second end positioned together in an end-to-end facing relationship; and a coupling, the coupling including at least one segment, each segment defining a first end and a second end, the first end disposed opposite from the second end, each first end and each second end defining a fastener hole; at least one fastener, each fastener extending through at least a one of the fastener holes; and a gasket, each segment positioned annular to the gasket, the gasket including an annular body; a pair of sealing ribs each extending substantially radially inwardly from the annular body, and at least one center rib extending substantially radially inwardly from the annular body.

A coupling sized for use with a pipe having a pipe outer diameter, the coupling including a pair of segments; and a gasket positioned between the pair of segments, the gasket including an annular body; and a pair of sealing ribs each extending substantially radially inwardly from the annular body, each sealing rib of the pair of sealing ribs defining a cylindrical sealing surface at an innermost radial extent in an uncompressed state, the cylindrical sealing surfaces each defining an inner gasket diameter that is larger than the pipe outer diameter when the gasket is in the uncompressed state.

The method of providing a clamping connection comprising providing one or more clamping hubs, providing two or more clamping segments to engage the clamping hubs, constraining the clamping segments to move approximately radially with respect to the clamp hubs, providing a tension band around the clamping segments which slides circumferentially relative to the clamping segments, and adjusting the ratio of the contact area of the tension band to the clamping hubs and the area of the clamping hubs to compensate for the difference in loading on the clamping hub due to sliding friction between the tension band and the clamping hubs.

A probe seal for a female hydraulic coupling member has both internal and external pressure-energized seals. The outer wall or opposing ends of the seal have one or more pressure-energized seals for sealing between the body of the probe seal and the body of a coupling member in which the probe seal is installed. Annular, L-shaped, T-shaped or angled grooves in the inner wall of the seal form cavities and sealing projections that can be urged in an inward, radial direction by fluid pressure within an associated cavity to increase the sealing effectiveness between the body of the seal and the probe of a male hydraulic coupling member inserted in the receiving chamber of the female coupling member.

Example aspects a hydrant shoe assembly and a method for assembling a hydrant shoe assembly are disclosed. The hydrant shoe assembly can comprise a shoe body defining a shoe body outer surface and a shoe body inner surface, the shoe body inner surface defining a void, the void defining an inlet end and an outlet end, an opening extending from the shoe body inner surface to the shoe body outer surface, the opening oriented proximate to the inlet end; a harness received in the void, the harness defining a harness inner surface and a harness outer surface, a protuberance extending radially outward from harness outer surface, the protuberance engaging the opening; and a pipe extending into the void through the inlet end, the harness inner surface engaging the pipe.
