An actuator arm lock suitable for use with an actuator which has an actuator arm and an actuator body The actuator arm lock comprises a lock ring suitable for clamping around an actuator arm. The lock ring comprises a circumferentially extending element and a locking element. The circumferentially extending element comprises first and second element ends and an inner surface which faces towards the actuator arm when the actuator arm lock is in use, and the circumferentially extending element is configured to partially extend around the actuator arm. The locking element comprises first and second locking ends and is configured to extend at least between the first and second element ends of the circumferentially extending element. The first locking end of the locking element is engaged with or engageable with the first element end of the circumferentially extending element.

A sealing system for establishing real time sealing between two flange members is provided. The sealing system includes a seal assembly disposed between the flange members. The seal assembly includes an o-ring seal component held between an outer seal component and an inner seal component. A clamp body including a first clamp arm and a second clamp arm receive the flange members and the seal assembly positioned between the flange members. A coupling device of the sealing system is used to apply torque to clamp arms to draw them each other resulting biasing the flange member toward each other to establish sealing. Each of the clamp arms includes at least one window opening to expose a portion of outer seal component that includes an indicator configured for displaying an identification feature of the o-ring seal component of the sealing assembly.

A fitting or connector for use in constructing a tubing assembly is made by bonding an olefin gasket to an end face of a polypropylene fitting member. The gasket is bonded to the fitting member via a heat fusion technique that causes localized melting together of the gasket and the fitting and generates a composite fitting or connector.

A coupling segment includes an arcuate segment body defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end; a first shoulder that is formed proximate to the first end and comprises a first fastener pad extending outwardly from the arcuate segment body, the first shoulder further defining an interior edge; and a first pivot extending from the first shoulder at the interior edge, wherein the first pivot is cast monolithically with the arcuate segment body and the first shoulder.

A fluid coupling includes a body including a plurality of segments and one or more links connecting the segments in a substantially annular configuration. At least one of the one or more links may be adjustable to modify a diameter of the body. The body may have a substantially U-shaped a cross-section with a first tapered portion, a second tapered portion, a first planar portion, a second planar portion, and/or a third planar portion. The body may include a first rounded corned and a second rounded corner. The first planar portion may be disposed substantially between the first tapered portion and the first rounded corner, the second planar portion may be disposed substantially between the first rounded corner and the second rounded corner, and/or the third planar portion may be disposed substantially between the second rounded corner and the second tapered portion.
