Outlet coupling

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.

Connector for piping networks

A connector for fluidly connecting a collector pipe and a feeder pipe is disclosed, with a retaining member defining a curved base defining a pair of platforms at opposite ends thereof and facing towards each other upon the connector being mounted on the collector pipe. The base is resiliently deformable such that in a non-deformed state, a radius of curvature of the base is smaller than an outer radius of the collector pipe and a distance between the platforms is smaller than a diameter of the collector pipe. The platforms is displaceable away from each other to vary the distance between them to mount the connector and to exert a clamping force on the collector pipe. The connector has a connecting member engaging the feeder pipe. A piping network is also disclosed.

QUICK TEE JOINT COMPONENT AND DRILLING JIG COMPONENT FOR DRILLING
20220009007 · 2022-01-13 ·

The invention discloses a quick tee joint component and a drilling jig component specially for drilling. For installation of a quick tee joint, a drilling jig for quick tee joint is firstly installed on a pipe where a branch pipe is to be added. A bushing of the drilling jig is in threaded connection with the drilling jig, to achieve convenient replacement, and is made of a high-hardness metal material. Under the limiting action of the bushing, the position of a reamer is ensured not to deviate during the reaming process, thereby ensuring the reaming quality. The requirement for different sizes of holes drilled by the drilling jig can be met by simply changing the size of the bushing of the drilling jig. Once reaming is done, fastening bolts are unscrewed so as to remove the drilling jig and a quick tee joint body is installed. A lengthening part of the quick tee joint body guarantees the installation position accuracy of the quick tee joint. In case of vertical installation of the quick tee joint, a notch in the lengthening part allows accumulated liquid to flow out to prevent the fluid from accumulating at the lowest point of the pipe for long time and affecting the working efficiency, thereby avoiding corrosion and extending the service life of the pipe.

Fitting for connecting a main pipe liner to a branch conduit

A fitting for connecting a branch conduit to a liner installed in a main pipe is configured to mechanically connect to the branch conduit as it is inserted into the branch conduit from inside the main pipe. The mechanical connection is established without rotating the fitting. The fitting can include a body having an outer shaft section for being received in the branch conduit and an inner flange section for opposing the liner within the main pipe. The fastener include one or more teeth that extend radially from the exterior of the shaft section. The teeth can be secured to the shaft section by deforming portions of the fitting body against the teeth. The flange section supports a gasket for sealing against the liner when the fitting is installed. The flange section can include a rim that maintains the gasket in the proper position.
