A service port cap has a body configured to be snapped onto a service port such as an automotive air conditioning service port. The cap has an axial slot allowing the body to spread as it is pressed onto the service port. A rubberized plug in the top of the cap bears and seals against the end of the service port. Should a fluid leak develop through the service port, the rubberized plug maintains a seal until the pressure is sufficient to overcome the seal created by the plug. At this point, the leaking fluid is directed out through the axial slot in the cap. Thus, the cap does not blow off and the flow of leaking fluid is controlled so that it does not spew. One embodiment includes a locking ring that slides to a locking position to lock the cap onto a service or other port to form a fixed seal.

A device for preventing refrigerant leaks in air conditioning system service ports includes a quick coupler for engaging the service port. A main body is disposed adjacent the coupler. A stem is movable inside the main body and a first sealing element is adjacent the stem. A head which is fastened to the main body has an internal thread and a second sealing element is disposed within the head. A shaft has an external thread to be screwed into the internal thread of the head. The shaft has an end with a recess to be engaged by a tool and the shaft has a free end remote from the recess for contacting the second sealing element, for pushing the second sealing element against the stem and for pushing the first sealing element adjacent the stem against an end of the service port upon turning the shaft.

A waterproof quick coupler which closes a port of a pressure vessel in an air-tight state during a water leakage inspection of a welding portion of the pressure vessel of a compressor. The quick coupler comprises: an outer body having an opening formed at a distal end portion thereof, an inner body flexibly disposed to be rotatable and linearly movable in the outer body; a cap coupled to the distal end portion of the outer body, and a fixing lever flexibly disposed between the inner body and the cap to clamp and unclamp a port of a pressure vessel when the inner body moves forward and backward, wherein the inner body may be locked in the outer body when moving backward, and may be unlocked from the outer body when the outer body rotates in one direction.

A sealing profile protector for a subsea hydrocarbon production or processing system component includes a body having an contact surface which is configured to engage a sealing profile on the component. When the sealing profile protector is installed, the contact surface displaces seawater from the sealing profile. In this manner, contaminants are inhibited from forming on the sealing surface after the sealing profile protector is installed.

Device (1) for closed systems for equalization of pressure surges, having an outlet nozzle (2), on which an impact plate (3) is provided and a hinged cover (4) is mounted pivotably, wherein the hinged cover (4) lies in a rest position (5) on the outlet nozzle (2) and in an open position (6) bears on the impact plate (3), wherein at least one holding-closed device (7) is provided, which presses the hinged cover (4) in the rest position (5) against the outlet nozzle (2) and in the case of a pressure surge releases the hinged cover (4), wherein the device has a control unit (8) that controls the holding-closed device (7).

Systems and devices for use in delivery of water to areas of land. The systems include quick coupling valves, quick coupling valve keys, and fluid delivery systems that utilize quick coupling valves and quick coupling valve keys.

A coupling may be configured to receive and secure an insertion end of a conduit. An outer surface of the insertion end of the conduit may be smooth and free of grooves, flanges and beads. A first member of the coupling may define a first passageway. A second member of the coupling may define a second passageway. The first member may be in spin weld engagement with the second member. A gripping ring having an inner edge defining a series of teeth may be disposed within the second member. A support ring and O-ring may also be disposed within the second member.

These fixtures aid in installing, sealing and securing pipe. Specifically, the invention aids in mating bell & spigot joints and securely capping open pipe ends of standard polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) pipe products as well as non-plastic piping by enabling equalized full circumference pressure on pipe ends to nudge, seal and/or secure pipe ends during installation or decommissioning.

A coupling device is provided for mounting onto a faucet having an externally threaded portion terminating in a free end. The device includes a pair clam-shell shaped members pivotably connected to each other to form a housing enclosing a tubular connector member having a connector at one end for connection to a hose. A pair of opposed shoes, a washer and a pressure applying member are located within the housing. An actuator lever is coupled to the clam-shells to pivot them with respect to each other into various positions. In one position the shoes are brought into engagement with the externally threaded end portion to mount the coupling device on the faucet. In another position the pressure applying member moves the tubular connector member into engagement with the washer to compress the washer between it and the free end surface of the faucet to couple the faucet to it in a fluid-tight interface.
