A fluid connector for removably joining two lines includes a male element and a complementary female element, which each include a body defining an inner passage and an outer passage, a male drawer, which is axially movable inside the outer passage between an uncoupled position of the connector, where it tightly closes off a distal mouth of the outer passage, and a coupled position, where it does not oppose the passage of fluid in the mouth and wherein the male or female body delimits a connecting passage between the outer passage of the female element and the outer passage of the male element during the coupling of the elements and which connecting passage extends between at least one distal opening and at least one proximal opening, which each emerge in one or the other of the outer passages.

A coupling member for a blind mate fluid coupling includes a housing and a valve body that is self-centering and alignable relative to the housing. The valve body may include at least two radial shoulder portions or abutments that are configured to engage at least two corresponding radial abutments of the housing to improve self-centering when in a decoupled state. A biasing member may urge the valve body abutments against the corresponding housing abutments to compensate for misalignment and/or provide self-centering in both a decoupled and mated state.

The present invention relates to a male coupling with integrated shunt system for the application on a multi-coupling device of the plate type, as well as a multi-coupling device comprising said coupling with integrated shunt system.

The invention thus makes it possible to implement the shunt function on movable plate side, i.e. on the plate configured to support a plurality of male couplings so as to short-circuit the male couplings when the plates are uncoupled.

The present invention further relates to a kit comprising at least one pair of male couplings with integrated shunt system and to a connection plate configured to achieve the fluid connection between the two male couplings, as well as a multi-coupling device comprising such a kit.

A subsea connection system for connecting to a hub has a body with an interior passageway, a collet having a plurality of collet segments, an outer sleeve overlying the collet, and a poppet valve assembly positioned within the interior passageway of the body. The plurality of collet segments are movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The poppet valve assembly is movable between an open position and a closed position in which the open position allows a fluid to flow through the interior passageway and the closed position blocks a flow of fluid through the interior passageway. The outer sleeve is movable so as to cause the plurality of collet segments to join to a hub.

Herein is a coupler and a clean connection device having the same, which can automate a series of operations for connecting and disconnecting a male coupler to and from a female coupler, clean and dry a wetted portion, drain residual liquid of chemicals together with cleaning water without external leakage in safety when the coupler is separated, and clean and dry the wetted surface before connection and after separation, thereby enabling a clean connection.
