A pulling and alignment system for flanged components has pairs of flange attachments fixed to respective flanges of components that are to be pulled together and aligned for coupling. A puller device is supported by a flange attachment of each pair. A flexible elongate pulling link extends between the flange attachments of the pair and is engaged by, and movable relative to, the puller device to act in tension between those flange attachments. Each flange attachment is a flange extension that comprises an arm cantilevered from a mounting to extend beyond the flange and to hold the pulling link outboard of the flange. The pulling link is an articulated rod having a longitudinal series of rigid elements, each of those elements being pivotably coupled to at least one other of those elements.

A flange sealing system can include a loading member layer adapted to receive a sealing force thereon, at least one intermediate member receiving the sealing force from the loading member and adapted to distribute the load force to branch members in subsequent layers, and at least one contact member adapted to apply the sealing force evenly around a flange and press a surface of the flange and against at least one of a second flange surface or a cap to seal an opening associated with the flange via at least one of connection to the second flange surface or the cap. The system can be provided in the form of a first pipe receiving section and a second pipe receiving section for securing two flanges together with associated pipes with pivot points distributed about the first and second pipe receiving section and distributing even pressure around the flanges.

A coupling assembly for connecting pipes, and a manufacturing method is disclosed. The coupling assembly can be installed in a state in which couplers are temporarily assembled using coupling members, and does not deform during a coupling process and thus can be stably fixed even after being coupled. The coupling assembly includes two or more couplers which are arranged facing each other to connect pipes continuously disposed in the axial direction, and the pipes are connected to each other in a state which coupling members are temporarily assembled to the couplers. The couplers have catch parts inserted into coupling grooves and have inner diameters corresponding to the outer diameters of the coupling grooves. Interference preventing grooves are formed in both sides of the catch parts and prevent interference between the pipes and the catch parts allowing outer circumferential surfaces of the pipes to pass through between the temporarily assembled couplers.
