A telescoping fluid coupling (10,110) is provided for use with a fluid flow device (12) and includes a coupling body (14,114) having a fluid port (16,116) extending along a longitudinal axis (18,118). A retainer (20,120) is fixed to the body (14,114) and includes a retaining shoulder (26,126). A flange (22,122) is mounted to the fluid port (16,116) and includes a radially inwardly facing guide surface (36,136) that surrounds a mount surface (24,124) and extends longitudinally along the axis (18,118) to provide guided, sliding translation of the guide surface (36,136) relative to the mount surface (24,124) along the axis (18,118). The flange (22,122) further includes a stop shoulder (38,138) to engage the retaining shoulder (26,126) to limit the translation of the flange (22,122) along the axis (18,128).

A split retaining ring for a connection assembly adapted for connecting an instrument or other device to a vessel, such as a pressure vessel. The connection assembly includes a base, an instrument or device, and a split retaining ring wherein the split retaining ring includes overlapping end portions. The split retaining ring also includes an annular rib adapted for engaging a ferrule of the instrument or device in order to substantially sealing engage the instrument or device to the base.

A device for connecting a pump body to a pipe of a hydraulic system, characterized in that it comprises a planar flange having a thread on the inside diameter for its coupling to a tubular intake portion or delivery portion of said pump body, which is threaded complementarily on its outside diameter.

A seal assembly includes a connector body having an open end configured for receiving a free end of a pipe and an adaptor for securing at the free end of the pipe. The adaptor has a first ring, configured to be mounted around the circumference of the free end of a pipe, and a second ring configured to cooperate with the first ring in order to drive the first ring into engagement with an outer surface of the pipe. A mechanical interlock arrangement is configured for driving the adaptor in the direction of the connector body, when the adaptor is secured at the free end of the pipe. The mechanical interlock arrangement is further configured for preventing or limiting axial movement of the pipe relative to the connector body, when the adaptor is secured to the outer surface of the pipe and when the free end of the pipe is in sealing contact with a metal seal surface of the connector body.

A flange assembly includes a flange for connection to a hose or pipe, the flange defining a contact face for engagement with a contact face of an opposed flange. The flange assembly also includes at least three clamps spaced circumferentially around the contact face. Each clamp includes a clamp body pivotably secured to the flange and a clamp member mounted on the clamp body, which is movable between a first, retracted position and a second, clamping position. A clamp face of the clamp member faces the contact face of the flange. The clamp member is movable relative to the clamp body to adjust the position of the clamp face relative to the contact face of the flange and adjust a clamping force created between the clamp face and the contact face of the flange to retain an opposing flange in face-to-face engagement with the contact face of the flange.

An end block for a flange-type hydraulic hose fitting includes a main body having a top surface, and a planar bottom surface. A plurality of openings are positioned on the main body at locations that correspond to the bolt holes of a specific size hydraulic hose fitting. The plurality of openings including an elongated shape to accommodate differences in bolt hole spacings for different pressure code ratings of the same size hose. The main body is constructed from a high pressure material for allowing the hydraulic hose to be pressurized with the main body bolted thereto. A protrusion extends outward from the top surface, and a gasket surrounds the protrusion. The protrusion includes an outside diameter that is complementary to the outside diameter of the hydraulic hose, and is positionable within the port hole of a hydraulic component which is sized to receive the hydraulic hose.
