Female element for a fluid coupling and fluid coupling including such an element This fluid coupling (R) element (200) comprises a body (202) for receiving a complementary end-piece (100), this body being centered on a longitudinal axis (X2) and defining a fluid circulation channel (204) within the body on the one hand, and a sealing chamber (208) in which a sealing gasket able to cooperate with the end-piece (100) inserted in the body (202) is housed, on the other hand. The sealing chamber is defined by an outer radial wall (2082) and a rear wall (2088). This coupling element comprises a locking mechanism (206) that includes locking members (2062) radially movable in the body relative to the longitudinal axis (X2), between a position blocking the end-piece (100) in the body and a position freeing a passage for the end-piece, and a locking ring (2066) mounted around the body and movable relative thereto, between a first position keeping the locking members (2062) in their blocking position and a second position in which the locking ring does not oppose the movement of the locking members toward their released position. The sealing chamber (208) is inwardly radially defined, relative to the longitudinal axis (X2), by an inner radial wall (2084), secured to the body (202), and by a front wall (2086). A front edge (2084b) of the inner radial wall (2084) is offset backward (d1), along the longitudinal axis (X2), relative to the rear surface (2086s) of the front wall (2086).

A connector seal pack spacer and assembly are employed for use in a fluid line quick connector in an automotive application, for instance. The spacer is located beside an o-ring in installation in the fluid line quick connector. The spacer is designed and constructed with an angled surface that, upon insertion of a spigot in the fluid line quick connector, works to maintain an intended position of the o-ring in the fluid line quick connector. Unwanted mispositioning and dislodging of the o-ring is hence minimized and, in some cases, altogether precluded.

Disclosed is a sealing member for connecting pipes including a body portion provided between an outer surface of a pipe and an inner surface of a connector into which the pipe is inserted and formed in a ring shape by extending along a circumferential direction; and wing portions formed protruding from the body portion and contacting an area in contact with the outer surface of the pipe to be disposed spacing apart from each other on both sides along the width direction of the body portion, wherein the pipe is deformable by an external force in a state in which the wing portions are formed in line contact with the outer surface of the pipe, respectively.

A pipe joint with a socket, and a pipe fitted into the socket. An annular seal is compressed between the socket and the pipe. The seal is electrically conductive and resiliently flexible. The socket or the pipe has a recess which houses the seal. The recess has a ridge in a base of the recess and the seal has a groove which extends around a radial periphery of the seal. The ridge fits into the groove to fool proof the installation, such that a standard non-conductive O-ring seal is more difficult to install in error.

A piping element assembly includes a coupling body and at least one gasket, the coupling body defining an interior cavity, the interior cavity in contact with the at least one gasket, the piping element assembly adapted for sealably connecting two lengths of pipe by insertion of the pipe lengths within the interior cavity and sealed by the at least one gasket.

Techniques for implementing a pipeline system including a pipe fitting, which includes a fitting shell that define a fitting bore and a tubing cavity around the fitting bore. The tubing cavity interfaces with pipe segment tubing to facilitate fluidly coupling the fitting bore to a pipe bore. The fitting shell includes a seal groove that is recessed into a fitting shell surface that facilitates defining the tubing cavity. The pipe fitting includes a belt seal having a multisided axial cross-section profile, in which the belt seal is to be disposed in the seal groove to implement a fitting seal in the pipe fitting that includes a protruding portion having a wedge-shaped axial cross-section profile that protrudes beyond the fitting shell surface into the tubing cavity to facilitate sealing a fluid conduit implemented in an annulus of the pipe segment tubing in the tubing cavity of the pipe fitting.
