A pluming fitting and adapter for coupling a tubing to the plumbing fitting. The adapter has first and second adapter end portion with connected fluid passageways. The second adapter end portion being insertable into the free-end portion of the tubing. A pluming fitting housing has a chamber sized to receive the first adapter end portion. When the first adapter end portion is positioned within the chamber, an outer end portion of its fluid passageway is in fluid communication with the chamber. A seal and gripper ring within the chamber seal with and releasably grip the first adapter end portion.

A closure assembly including a retaining cover, a first catch plate sitting partially within the retaining cover, a second catch plate sitting partially within the retaining cover opposite the first catch plate and spaced apart from the first catch plate, and a closure pressing against the first catch plate and pressing against the second catch plate.

An apparatus and method for valve cartridge extraction from a valve assembly, wherein the assembly includes a valve member body, a cartridge, and a valve cartridge extraction (VCE) tool comprising at least one pin disposed on the upper surface of the VCE tool. During cartridge removal, the VCE tool is uncoupled from the valve member body and is coupled to the cartridge with the at least one pin. The cartridge is rotated with the coupled VCE tool to assist in cartridge removal. The valve assembly may also include a hood covering the VCE tool.

A plug assembly includes a plug stem having a plug stem base, a plug head, and a fastening mechanism for fastening the plug stem base to the plug head, the fastening mechanism comprising at least two retainer clamps that surround and provide an interference fit between the plug stem base and the plug head. A method of replacing or attaching a plug head to a plug stem includes providing a plug stem having a plug stem base, providing a plug head, providing a fastening mechanism comprising at least two retainer clamps, and coupling the fastening mechanism around the plug stem base and the plug head to provide an interference fit between the plug stem base and the plug head.

A system includes an actuator housing having a plurality of adapter lugs extending radially inward toward an axis, each adapter lug of the plurality of adapter lugs secured to the housing via a respective connector. The system also includes a bonnet having a plurality of bonnet lugs extending radially outward away from the axis, each bonnet lug of the plurality of bonnet lugs being separated by a respective space, the space being sized to permit axial movement of an adapter lug of the plurality of adapter lugs toward a lower flange arranged axially lower than the plurality of bonnet lugs.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for coupling objects in a wellbore includes a unidirectional valve having a body. The body includes two or more body lugs extending radially outward, each body lug of the two or more body lugs extending at least a portion of a circumferential distance of the body. The system also includes a tubing hanger having a bore that receives the unidirectional valve. The bore includes an axial restraint system that receives the two or more body lugs and blocks axial movement of the unidirectional valve in a first position and enables axial movement of the unidirectional valve in a section position, the unidirectional valve being non-threadingly coupled to the tubing hanger.

A pluming fitting and adapter for coupling a tubing to the plumbing fitting. The adapter has first and second adapter end portion with connected fluid passageways. The second adapter end portion being insertable into the free-end portion of the tubing. A pluming fitting housing has a chamber sized to receive the first adapter end portion. When the first adapter end portion is positioned within the chamber, an outer end portion of its fluid passageway is in fluid communication with the chamber. A seal and gripper ring within the chamber seal with and releasably grip the first adapter end portion.

A valve and adapter for coupling a tubing to the valve. The adapter has first and second adapter end portion with connected fluid passageways. The second adapter end portion being insertable into the free-end portion of the tubing. A valve housing has a first chamber sized to receive the first adapter end portion and a second chamber has inward and outward fluid ports. When the first adapter end portion is positioned within the first chamber, an outer end portion of its fluid passageway is in fluid communication with the inward fluid port of the second chamber. A seal and gripper ring within the first chamber seal with and releasably grip the first adapter end portion. A valve element selectively control fluid flow between the first and second fluid passageways. The adapter may be used with a test cap and other fittings which include a seal and a gripper ring.

A poppet assembly for a valve can include a valve stem for cooperating with a valve actuator, a first valve member coupled to the valve stem in a fixed position and configured to sealingly engage a first orifice and a second valve member coupled to the valve stem and configured to sealingly engage a second orifice. The second valve member can include a coupler for coupling the second valve member to the valve stem and a seal configured to couple to the coupler and the valve stem. The second valve member can be configured for achieving proper spacing between the valve members for simultaneous contact with their respective orifices without the need for more costly and time consuming components or assembly methods.

A plumbing fitting couplable with a free-end portion of a pipe. The fitting has a chamber with an opening and an interior chamber wall with a circumferentially extending chamber groove, and an end bushing with an interior opening sized to receive the pipe free-end portion and an exterior wall portion having an outwardly projecting, circumferentially extending locking member within the chamber groove to resist movement of the end bushing out of the first chamber opening. A seal and gripper ring within the chamber seal with and releasably grip the pipe free-end portion. The end bushing interior opening has an end bushing interior wall portion sized to be engaged by the free-end portion of the pipe when within the end bushing interior opening to resist disengagement of the locking member from the chamber groove while the free-end portion of the pipe is within the end bushing interior opening.
