A system for coupling a first pipe segment to a second pipe segment includes a pin end including a flange. The system includes a box end having a recess configured to receive the pin end, a face of the box end abutting the flange. The system includes a coupling assembly joining the first pipe segment to the second pipe segment including a split ring arranged proximate the flange and a sleeve, wherein threads of the sleeve engage first mating threads on the split ring and second mating threads on the box end.

An adapter probe configured for injecting fluid (e.g., liquid, gas) into at least one electrical cable. Particularly for injecting an electrical cable with a fluid when the electrical cable is affixed to a separable connector (e.g., elbow separable connector). Separable connector may be configured to connect sources of energy (e.g., transformer, circuit breaker) with distribution systems via electrical cable (or cable section).

A high capacity universal connector for use in connecting tubular members and a method for sealing the tubular members is provided. First and second tubular members are provided which each have ends that are brought into face-to-face engagement by a connector. A metal sealing element seals against conical surfaces at the ends of the first and second tubular members and enables the entire surface of the end of one tubular member to be bought into engagement with the surface of the end of the other tubular member so as to improve the bending and compression capacity of the assembly comprising the tubular members and the metal sealing element. A metal sealing ring for use in this assembly is also provided, along with a gasket retention assembly.

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.

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.

A sprinkler system includes a sprinkler, a fitting, and a gasket. The sprinkler includes a body having an inlet end and an opening, at least one flange extending radially outward from the body and positioned between the inlet end and the opening, and a sprinkler engagement member positioned between the at least one flange and the inlet end. The fitting includes an inner wall defining a fitting engagement member that couples with the sprinkler engagement member, an inner wall edge extending radially outward from the inner wall, and an end wall extending from the inner wall edge to an outer edge. The gasket is received between the at least one flange, the end wall, and the inner wall edge to seal the sprinkler with the fitting.

Provided is a pipe holding connection structure configured so that the width of the entire structure is reduced and so that the number of parts and the number of assembly work processes are reduced. This pipe holding connection structure is provided with: a housing affixed so as to air-tightly close the opening of a vacuum container; a first pipe having a portion near an end portion thereof extending through both the opening and the housing; and a second pipe having a female thread part engaging with a male thread part located at the end portion. The pipe has a locking part. Fluid is caused to flow through both the pipes. Pieces of packing are provided between the pipe and the housing and between the pipe and an end portion of the pipe, respectively. This pipe holding connection structure can be used for a high-frequency antenna device.

A set of electromechanical connectors comprises a female structural member having an open end and a male structural member having a tip configured for being received in the open end of the female structural member. A first active connector is fixedly received within one of the male and female structural members. A second active connector is fixedly received within another one of the male and female structural members. Interconnecting the male and female structural members causes the first active connector to come in operative contact with the second active connector. The first and second active connectors are isolated from an environment external to the set of electromechanical connectors when the male and female structural members are interconnected.

A coupling for an irrigation system may have a first member and a second member, each of which has threads that engage a threaded fitting of an adjacent component. The first member may have a shank and a flange that has a greater exterior dimension than the shank. The flange may have a first locking extension. The second member may have a bore that receives the shank such that the second member is slidable along the base member between a locked configuration in which rotation of the second member about the centerline induces rotation of the base member about the centerline, and an unlocked configuration, in which the second member is rotatable about the centerline independently of rotation of the base member. The second member may further have a first recess that receives the first locking extension in the locked configuration.
