In a threaded connection for pipe with intermediate shoulder surfaces provided between two thread steps for functioning as torque shoulders, the compression resistance under repeatedly applied combined loads is improved. The axial distance between the box intermediate shoulder surface 33 and box end shoulder surface 34 of the box 3 before make-up, L.sub.B, is larger than the axial distance between the pin intermediate shoulder surface 23 and pin end shoulder surface 24 of the pin 2 before make-up, L.sub.P, such that, upon completion of make-up, the pin and box intermediate shoulder surfaces 23 and 33 are in strong pressure contact to function as torque shoulders, while the pin and box end shoulder surfaces 24 and 34 are not in contact or are in light contact. The difference between the axial distances, (L.sub.B−L.sub.P), is such that, when the pin 2 and box 3 are made up and upon application of a certain magnitude of axial compressive load, the pin 2 and box 3 are slightly axially compressed by the compressive load and the pin end shoulder surface 24 comes into pressure contact with the box end shoulder surface 34 to bear part of the compressive load.

A filter adaptor joins a canister filter to a hydraulic manifold block. The adaptor includes a hexagonal tool-receiving portion, an outflow passageway and one or more inflow passageways. The outlet flow passageway extends between opposed ends of the adaptor, and is used to direct filtered fluid from the filter to the manifold block. The inlet flow passageway(s) extend between the one end and a sealed region of the adaptor, and are used to direct fluid from the manifold block to the filter. The adaptor includes auxiliary ports formed in the tool-receiving portion that communicate with the inlet flow passageways and permit monitoring thereof.

The present invention provides an extension member for coupling with a quick coupler key. The extension member includes: a first member; a second member; a handle; and a third member. Methods of using the extension member for coupling with a pipe and a quick coupler key, which is coupled to a quick coupler assembly are also provided.

Example aspects of a tight-seal piping component, a tight-seal piping assembly, and a method for preventing leaking in a piping assembly are disclosed. The tight-seal piping component can comprise a fitting body defining a fitting inner surface, a fitting outer surface opposite the fitting inner surface, a first fitting end, and a second fitting end opposite the first fitting end, the fitting inner surface defining: an interior channel defining a fitting axis; a seal stop surface within the interior channel; and internal threading between first fitting end and the seal stop surface, the internal threading defining straight threading extending in a direction about perpendicular to the fitting axis; and a seal received within interior channel and abutting seal stop surface.

A high-pressure gas tank connection structure including: a tank main body; a tank side connector; a connection side connector; and a valve body, the valve body being provided further toward a deep side along the axial direction of the tank main body than the tank side connector, the valve body being urged toward the connection side connector, and, in a case in which the valve body is pushed by a distal end of the convex portion in a state in which the convex portion is joined with the concave portion, the valve body being opened from a closed state, and communicating the interior of the tank main body with the exterior to the tank main body.

In a threaded connection for pipe with a two-step thread construction, including intermediate shoulders, during stabbing, the internal-pressure sealing surface of the pin near its tip is prevented from contacting the intermediate shoulder of the box and thus receiving damage. L.sub.P, L.sub.B, h.sub.P and h.sub.B shown in FIG. 2 satisfy Expressions (1) and (2), provided below. θ.sub.seal is the angle of slope of the straight line connecting the two ends, as determined along the axial direction, of the internal-pressure sealing surface of the pin. Expression (3), provided below, is also satisfied.

In order to prevent gap corrosion at a freely accessible face of a threaded connection (1) in particular when used in sea water the threaded connection (1) is encapsulated in a circumferential tight annular chamber (3) in order to prevent a penetration of sea water to the threaded connection (1) and thus prevent the gap corrosion between the two threads (2, b) of the threaded connection (1) meshing with each other. This is achieved by a particularly pressure tight and long service life primary seal (6) and advantageously a supplemental secondary seal (16), in particular for a threaded connection (1) which seals a cable pass through (15) of a housing (22).

A sewer inlet coupler and housing system includes a coupler and a housing containing the coupler. The housing includes a bucket having an open end receiving the coupler and a cap covering the open end of the bucket and the coupler received therein. The cap and coupler include respective features by which the cap may selectively engage, carry, and release the coupler without the need for a user to touch the coupler.

Provided is a hose including a first connector assembly including a regulator assembly, a second connector assembly, and a hose assembly coupled to the first and second connector assemblies. The hose assembly includes an inner hose member having first and second ends, an outer hose member having first and second ends, a first hose connector assembly coupled to the first ends of the inner hose member and outer hose member and the first connector assembly, and a second hose connector assembly coupled to the second ends of the inner hose member and outer hose member and the second connector assembly.

A threaded joint with excellent tensile strength, comprising: a pin having an externally threaded part comprising a first and second externally threaded sections across a step on an outer periphery on a distal-end side of a first steel pipe or tube; and a box having an internally threaded part comprising a first and second internally threaded sections across the step on an inner periphery on a distal-end side of a second steel pipe or tube, the externally threaded part being screwed to the internally threaded part to join the pin and the box. The threaded joint has a first and second thread sequence with lengths L1 and L2, respectively, and cross-sectional areas P1, P2, B1, and B2 at end positions 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively, satisfying Formulas (1) and (2): (P2, B2).sub.min≤P1/{L1/(L1+L2)}(1) and (P2, B2).sub.min≤B1/{L2/(L1+L2)}(2), where (P2, B2).sub.min represents P2 or B2, whichever is smaller.
