A collar having a divided structure and surrounding a fitting connection part between a spigot portion and a socket portion in a sealed state is externally mounted over both pipe portions. A first disengagement blocking part that blocks, by contact, a relative disengagement movement beyond a certain level between the socket portion and the collar is provided at a location where the collar and the socket portion side face each other. A second disengagement blocking part provided with a retaining part in which falling-off resistance between the retaining part and an outer peripheral surface of the spigot portion increases according to a disengagement movement of the spigot portion is provided on a pipe support portion side on one end side in a pipe axis direction of the collar.

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an assembly for sealing a rigid pipe, a furnace, and a gasket for use in an HVAC fluid conduit. Some embodiments include a furnace with an inducer blower drawing combustion air through the furnace, and the assembly is used to connect one or more flue conduit(s) and an exhaust pipe. In one embodiment, the gasket used in the assembly includes a tubular body, at least a portion of which is engaged along an inner surface of the fluid conduit, a rim extending outwardly from a tubular body end, and two or more ears extending from the rim, wherein the ears are spaced apart from the tubular body and extend in substantially the same direction as the tubular body. The ears further include a first rib located proximate a distal end of the ear.

A pipe coupling can comprise a first segment comprising a first end and a second end distal to the first end; a second segment comprising a first end and a second end distal to the first end; a first tightening element configured to draw the second end of the first segment towards the first end of the second segment; a second tightening element configured to draw the first end of the first segment towards the second end of the second segment; and a pivot clip between the second end of the first segment and the first end of the second segment, the pivot clip configured to maintain a separation distance between the second end of the first segment and the first end of the second segment.

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 structure is provided for installing a pipe fixing clamp installed in a sound absorber. A part of a curved pipe portion of an internal structural pipe of the sound absorber is cut to form an exhaust gas flow space. The pipe fixing clamp having multiple holes is connected to the exhaust gas flow space.

The present invention discloses a sleeve for sleeving on an object, which includes: a first body portion, a second body portion, and a first groove. The first body portion has a first reception portion, and the first reception portion has a first notch, and the first notch is provided with a first fastening member. The second body portion is coupled to the first body portion. One end of the first groove is disposed at an adjacent position between the first notch and the second body portion, and the other end of the first groove extends to an appropriate position along an outer edge of a connection between the first body portion and the second body portion. The first groove is separated from the first reception portion by a first thin wall. One end of the object penetrates through the first reception portion, and the first notch is pressed by the first fastening member so that the first groove is broken along the first thin wall to form a first broken opening. The first notch is pressed and tightened by the first fastening member so that the first body portion and the object are fixed to each other.

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.

A coupling for joining pipe elements has segments surrounding a central space with cusps which engage lobes of a seal to maintain the segments in spaced apart relation in a preassembled state. While the coupling is in the preassembled state the pipe elements may be inserted into the central space without disassembling the coupling, and portions of the seal adjacent to attachment members on the segments seat within a channel defined by the segments between the cusps. The lobes of the seal contact a second surface of the shoulders of the segments adjacent to the attachment members when the segments are in spaced relation.

A pipe coupling has two segments with angularly oriented action surfaces in facing relationship. The action surfaces induce relative rotation between the segments when the segments are drawn together to engage the pipe elements being joined. Attachment elements on each segment, in the form of lugs, accommodate adjustable fasteners which draw the segments together when tightened. Angularly oriented support surfaces on the lugs engage one another and react the fastener force. Stop surfaces are positioned on the lugs adjacent to the support surfaces. Engagement between the stop surfaces limits the relative rotation between the segments.

A pipe coupling has first and second segments attached end to end surrounding a central space. The segments define first and second receptacles which receive pipe elements. A port is positioned in one of the segments. The port provides access to the central space. A nipple on the segment extends from the central space and defines a bore aligned with the port. A collar on the segment extends toward the central space. The collar has an outer surface which forms a recess with an inner surface of the segment. A seal is positioned within a channel defined by arcuate keys which surround the receptacles. The seal has a body which defines a first aperture aligned with the receptacles and a second aperture aligned with the bore of the nipple.
