A fitting apparatus for fluidly coupling a plurality of pipes together includes a flexible bladder which fluidly couples a plurality of pipes together. A rigid shell is positionable around the bladder in an attachment position. The rigid shell comprises two portions which are couplable to each other to position the shell in the attachment position. Collars are provided which threadably attach to the rigid shell.

A pipe connection and a method for sealingly connecting pipes which, in their opposite end portions, are provided with removable rings arranged in grooves provided in the peripheries of the pipes, the pipe connection being provided with a first nut, which is provided with an internally threaded portion and is arranged to encircle the end portion of the first pipe and has a shoulder portion which may abut in an axially supporting manner against said ring, and a second nut, which is provided with an externally threaded portion and is arranged to encircle the end portion of the second pipe and abut with a shoulder portion in an axially supporting manner against said ring, and the nuts are in threaded engagement with each other and are arranged to press radial pipe-end faces of the pipes against an axially supporting portion of a seal and pipe carrier.

A first peripheral wall end portion of a conversion adapter is connected to a tubular body across a gasket, and has either an annular protrusion to be pressed into an annular groove on a side surface of the gasket, or an annular groove to allow an annular protrusion projecting from a side surface of the gasket to be pressed thereinto. The first peripheral wall end portion has either an internally threaded portion to allow an externally threaded portion of the tubular body to be screwed thereinto, or an externally threaded portion to allow a nut to be screwed thereonto. The nut also allows an externally threaded portion of the tubular body to be screwed thereinto. A second peripheral wall end portion of the conversion adapter has an externally threaded portion to allow another nut to be screwed thereonto, and then, to allow the sleeve to make contact with the inside.

A flow control structure of a water hose joint has: a hose connector, a coupler, a control section, and a hose. The coupler is coupled with the hose connector, the control section is sleeved on the coupler, and the coupler is inserted into the hose, so as to complete a flow control structure of the hose connector. By combining the hose connector with a connecting pipe and rotating the control section to adjust the relative position of the control section and the coupler to change the water flow, which has the effect of simple flow adjustment.

A fitting adapter for a conduit system includes a body having a first end, a second end, a hollow core, a lip, a recess, a flange, and a gasket formed of a polymeric material, sized and configured to be received by the body, and having a rim. The recess and the flange are sized and configured to receive the rim. The fitting adapter is configured to interact with a conduit or a transition adapter and a conduit body or a device box to form a sealed connection where a conduit or transition adapter is connected to a conduit body or a device box. A conduit system includes a conduit or transition adapter, a conduit body or device box, and a fitting adapter. A method of connecting a conduit or transition adapter to a fitting adapter and a conduit body or device box forms a hygienic and sealed connection therebetween.

A grip and fitting assembly for coupling an air hose to a gladhand coupler. The grip being flexible and tapered with a tubular interior through which may pass a length of hose shielded and protected by the grip. The grip is affixed to a fitting attachable to the gladhand coupler on a first threaded end thereof and attachable to the air hose on a second barbed end thereof. The grip is configured with one or more internal keyway boss which aligns and interlocks with one or more corresponding keyway recess on a retaining shoulder formed between the ends of the fitting. The secure, snap-fit attachment between the grip and fitting ensures ease of operation, installation, maintenance, along with increased durability, weather-resistance, efficiency, usability, and reliability of the coupling.

An improved opening for a metal faucet has an outlet neck having an opening with an outer threaded section at an outer edge and a curved stopping ring at the opening, the stopping ring having a rounded surface at an inner edge. The improved opening for a metal faucet which does not have any sharp edge and provide smooth water flows.

A torque limited fitting is provided having a head and a body, which in certain embodiments may be assembled by an operator. The body of the torque limited fitting has a passageway therethrough for receiving and removably holding tubing. The torque limited fitting may be adapted for use with a flat bottom port, such as in an analytical instrument, like liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, or in in vitro diagnostic systems.

A pipe joint structure contains: a body, a connection ring, and a screwing nut. The body includes a hollow channel defined therein, a connecting tube surrounding around the hollow channel and having at least one open end, and a coupling section arranged adjacent to an end portion of an outer wall of the connecting tube. The connection ring includes an inner joining diameter for connecting with the coupling section. The screwing nut includes an internal orifice, an outer diameter of which is greater than the body and the connection ring. The internal orifice has first inner threads formed around inner wall thereof and has a limiting rib arranged on one end of the internal orifice facing to the body, wherein an outer diameter of the internal orifice is greater than an outer diameter of the body and is smaller than an outer diameter of the connection ring.

A pipeline structure includes a connection pipe and a flow controller. The connection pipe includes inflow and outflow passages and an accommodation part that is located therebetween and has upper and lower flow chambers in fluid communication with each other, first and second inlet channels and an outlet channel. The first inlet channel is in fluid communication with the inflow passage and the upper flow chamber, and is formed by a side wall standing at the inflow passage. The second inlet channel is in fluid communication with the inflow passage and the lower flow chamber. The outlet channel is in fluid communication with the lower flow chamber and the outflow passage. The flow controller enables or interrupts fluid communications between the upper and lower flow chambers and between the second inlet channel and the lower flow chamber.
