The present application provides various examples that may include a hose and a system. The hose may include a hose body, where an end segment of the hose body may be foldable over a clamp seat area of the hose body. There may be an opening in the end segment sized and shaped to provide access to a clamp, so as to better hold the clamp in place, while still enabling access.

An expansion joint spring clip can eliminate flutter, pulsations and reverse bending on non-metallic fabric flue duct expansion joints. The expansion joint spring clip can hold the expansion joint in a fixed arch such that it can still perform its function with regard to accommodating the ducting system movements. The expansion joint spring clip allows the entire width of the non-metallic expansion joint to retain its position during start-ups, downloading and during full or partial boiler, kiln, furnace loads and the like. The expansion joint spring clip can be installed in the existing geometry of an expansion joint by producing an arch while not damaging the expansion joint after being installed. The expansion joint can still accommodate axial and limited lateral movements, allowing the expansion joint to perform its function.

An expansion joint that is provided between a steam turbine outlet and a condenser inlet, including: an upstream baffle tube that has one end secured to an upstream fixing end and the other end as a free end, and forms a steam channel; a downstream baffle tube that has one end secured to a downstream fixed end and the other end as a free end, the free end being relatively movable outside the free end of the upstream baffle tube; and a flexible cylinder that is formed of a non-metal material using a resin sheet, and deformable while airtightly surrounding the baffle tubes.

A pipe coupling apparatus adapted to allow for the connection of older, common sewer or drain pipe made of concrete, clay or the like to that of the newer style polymers such as ABS, CPCV, PVC and the like. It accomplishes this through a novel connection method that eliminates having to cut off the bell end of the older sewer or drain pipe and provides for a method of stabilizing the alignment of the two connected pipes. The apparatus incorporates a pipe coupling and a flexible polymer transition sleeve, and depending on the dimensions of the pipes involved, may require an optional spacer seal ring. The assembly time is greatly reduced over the prior art methodologies and the coupled pipes are less likely to leak. It is available in both eccentric and concentric configurations.

A sleeve adapter for installation over a corrugated pipe is provided. The sleeve adapter may comprise a tubular body, wherein the tubular body may have a smooth outer surface, a first monofilament wire connected by a first one-way clamp, wherein the first monofilament wire may extend around a first end of the tubular body, a second monofilament wire connected by a second one-way clamp, wherein the second monofilament wire may extend around a second end of the tubular body, a flexible elastomer hinge extending around the tubular body, and a plurality of sealing surface fins extending outwardly from an inner surface of the tubular body.
