A pipe seal assembly includes a stiffener having an axis, an inner diameter (ID) and an outer diameter (OD). The seal assembly also includes an elastomer that is coupled to and extending though the stiffener, such that the elastomer is located on both the ID and the OD of the stiffener. A method of manufacturing a tubular member includes forming the tubular member with a female end; locating a seal assembly having an extension inside the female end, pressing the seal assembly into the female end to form a seal groove, belling the tubular member using the seal assembly to form a belled shape, and pressing the extension into the interior of the female end to form a spline groove inside the female end adjacent the seal groove; and then sacrificially removing the extension, but leaving the seal assembly to form a final assembly.

A converter hose includes a self-sealing connector coupled to a hose. Related methods include attaching the converter hose to a shower head, faucet or spigot.

A connecting assembly for operatively and fluidly connecting at least first and second hose segments together. The connecting assembly includes at least one insert portion, and corresponding bulge(s), securing device(s) and fluid passage(s).

The securing device is removably mounted onto and displaceable about a portion of a given length span of the insert portion, and configured for operation between a first release mode, where the securing device being is drawn away from the bulge and thus an extremity of the hosing segment is releasable, and a second connecting mode, where the securing device is removably and selectively displaced over an outward overlapping of the extremity of the hosing segment extending over the bulge, so as to securely maintain said extremity of the hosing segment in place, operatively against the bulge and thus, prevent the first extremity of the first hosing segment from being removed from the bulge. Quick and easy.

A fluid hose splice assembly for visually diagnosing fluid flowing through a fluid hose includes a tube that is spliceable into an existing fluid hose such that a fluid flows through the tube. The tube is comprised of a translucent material thereby facilitating the fluid to be visible through the tube for diagnostic observation of the fluid. The tube has a plurality of observation windows that are each integrated into the tube. Each of the observation windows is convexly arcuate with respect to the tube to enhance visibility of the fluid flowing through the tube.

A sealed coupling between at least two pipes may be mountable on one another in an electrolysis facility. The sealed coupling may be formed on at least one overlapping pipe pair by lateral surfaces abutting one another. The pipes may be mounted/mountable one inside the other in a floating manner relative to one another in an axial direction. A deformation point may be formed at a circumferential position having an axial length on a free end of the outer pipe in the overlap region. The deformation point may define a region for deformation of the outer pipe. A lateral surface of an inner lateral surface of the outer pipe and an outer lateral surface of the inner pipe may define a sealing surface that overlaps the deformation point in the axial direction. In addition to high operational reliability, this also enables a simplification of the installation procedure.

A pipe connecting seat has a sleeve and two positioning members. The positioning members are disposed on the sleeve at a spaced interval. Each one of the two positioning members has a positioning arm and a positioning pin. The positioning arm is openably, positionably, and pivotally disposed on the sleeve, and has at least one reinforcing protrusion for increasing strength of the positioning arm. The positioning pin is disposed on the positioning arm and is located out of the positioning arm for positioning the positioning arm and limiting a pivoting opening range of the positioning arm. When the pipe connecting seat is connected to two pipes, the two positioning members are always located on the sleeve and are not prone to loss. The operating convenience of the pipe connecting seat is increased.
