A connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly includes a connector body, a movable component selectively movable between an uninstalled state and an installed state, a digital tag, and a digital blocker. When the movable component is moved from the uninstalled state to the installed state, the digital blocker is moved relative to the digital tag from a position where the digital tag is blocked by the digital blocker to a position where the digital tag is unblocked by the digital blocker, thereby providing a digital indication of a successful connection between the connector body and the movable component.

A male connector end having a first cylindrical portion having a first diameter, a second cylindrical portion having a second diameter, the second diameter being smaller than the first diameter, and a male transition profile between the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion. The male transition profile is sized to accommodate both a first female transition profile and a second female transition profile to fluidly couple the male connector end to either one of a first female end having the first female transition profile or a second female end having the second female transition profile.

A fluid connector, including a tubular member, a connector body, including an exterior opening groove, and a retainer clip to lock the tubular member to the connector body, an assurance cap including one or more latch fingers engaged with the exterior opening groove, and a tool, including an annular collar mountable over the tubular member, and a plurality of fingers carried on and extending axially from the annular collar, the plurality of fingers operatively arranged to engage the latch fingers when the collar and the plurality of fingers are engaged with the assurance cap to disengage the latch fingers from the exterior opening groove to disconnect the assurance cap from the connector body.

A pipe fitting has housing portions attached in spaced relation to define non-coaxial receptacles that receive pipe elements. The housing portions are supported on split rings received within grooves in each housing portion. The housing portions are supported in spaced relation in a preassembled state to permit insertion of pipe elements into the receptacles without disassembly of the fitting. The grooves in the housing portions have a floor surface with three surface portions. Two of the surface portions on each groove of each housing portion engage the split rings when the housing portions are supported in spaced relation.

A food reflux reducing two-piece nasogastric tube includes a first tube body and a second tube body. The first tube body has a first connector on one end, and a protrusion edge on an outer side of the first connector in adjacent to the first positioning portion. The first connector has a through hole having a seal portion in adjacent to the first positioning portion. The seal portion has a cross break. A convex portion is on an inner edge of the through hole between the seal portion and the first positioning portion. The second tube body has one end provided with a second connector and an insertion combination tube extending therefrom. Two elastic arms extend from an outer side of the second connector and comprise a hook portion respectively. Thus, the second tube body is efficiently connected with and removed from the first tube body.

A fuel tank that includes a fuel container, a filler pipe, a connecting piece member, and an annular locking element. The connecting piece member is configured to connect the filler pipe to the fuel container, and is a substantially cylindrical sheet metal shaped cross-section having a first connecting end for fastening to a first component to be connected, and a second connecting end for receipt in a second component to be connected. The second connecting end has a first portion with a first groove shaped therein. The annular locking element extends at least partially through openings of the second component to be connected at a connection point into an interior of the second component to be connected, and at the connection point, axially secures the second component to be connected relative to the connecting piece member by a positive connection on the first groove.
