There is disclosed a side wall seal for piping comprising an annular ring adapted to be attached to a building sidewall, an annular wall extending outwardly from said annular ring and having a seam in said annular wall, a first ear extending outwardly from the annular wall adjacent a first side of the seam and a second ear extending outwardly from the annular wall adjacent a second side of the seam, and a closure mechanism for closing the seam around said piping. A wedge member may be used with the side wall seal to angle the piping downward.

Apparatuses for controlling fluid flow are important components for delivering process fluids for semiconductor fabrication. These apparatuses for controlling fluid flow frequently rely on large numbers of fitting assemblies. Fitting assemblies often require tight tolerances, requiring expensive manufacturing processes. Fitting assemblies formed as multiple components can reduce manufacturing costs. Fitting assemblies may be formed of a housing having an insert receiving cavity and an insert having a port, a seal cavity, and a tube stub. A flow path extends from the port to the tube stub to enable flow of fluid therebetween.

A method of assembling a tapping sleeve includes positioning an outlet band on a pipe element with an arcuate portion of the outlet band contacting an outer surface of the pipe element, the outlet band including a front end, a back end, a first side end, a second side end, a first bend line defined between the first side end and the second side end and extending from the front end to the back end, a second bend line defined between the first bend line and the second side end and extending from the front end to the back end, wherein the outlet band defines an arcuate portion between the first bend line and the second bend line, a first flange defined between the first side end and the first bend line, and a second flange defined between the second side end and the second bend line.

A mechanical outlet forms a Tee joint by using a strap to cinch a pipe element to a saddle having a duct. One end of the strap and saddle are attached via an adjustable fastener. Angularly oriented action and reaction surfaces on the saddle and strap engage one another when the fastener is tightened to place a tensile load on the strap which substantially conforms to the pipe element and compresses it against the saddle. The opposite ends of the strap and saddle engage one another via a yoke and enlarged head, allowing those ends to be disengaged to permit insertion of the pipe element between strap and saddle.
