A pipe connection arrangement for a fluid management system includes a pipe nut for releasably connecting an end portion of a pipe to a fluid port of the fluid management system. The pipe nut has a first portion having a toothed outer profile and a second portion configured to engage with a connection point portion of said fluid management system. An elongated drive member having a first end portion with a toothed outer profile is configured to cooperate with the toothed outer profile of the pipe nut, the first end portion further being configured to concentrically engage with a supplementary guide member adapted to be fixedly arranged adjacent the connection point portion of said fluid management system. When the elongated drive member is in engagement with the supplementary guide member, and the second portion of the pipe nut is in engagement with the connection point portion, the toothed outer profile and the toothed outer profile of the pipe nut are permitted to mesh together such that a rotation of said elongated drive member causes a corresponding rotation of the pipe nut for clamping the end portion to the fluid port or unclamping the end portion from the fluid port.

A pipe-fitting includes a plurality of pipe receiving portions, a hollow joint for connecting the plurality of pipe receiving portions to each other, a sealing member received in a sealing member-receiving groove, and a plurality of hollow fixing-caps, wherein each fixing-cap is screwed to a distal end of each pipe receiving portion to press the sealing member to be brought into close contact with each pipe. A fixing-cap stopper is formed on an outer circumferential face of each pipe receiving portion. The fixing-cap stopper includes a fixing-cap fixing portion including a plurality of fixing protrusions protruding toward a proximal end of the fixing-cap. A plurality of fixing-protrusion-receiving grooves is defined in the proximal end of each fixing-cap for receiving the fixing-protrusions therein respectively.

A support ring for a tubular connection is provided that comprises a body comprising a first end and a second end. A circumferential ring lip extends from the first end of the body and positioned perpendicular to the body. A protrusion is positioned on the body between the first end and the second end. The protrusion comprises a top surface and a bottom surface.

A connector device has male and female parts with respective coaxial passageways. An external screwthread of a collet engages an internal screwthread on the female part and relative rotation between those screwthreads causes engagement of the female and male parts. A slot in the collet extends longitudinally and is open at both ends to enable the collet to be splayed as a split collet. A wedge located between the male part and the collet is displaceable longitudinally to splay the collet and lock the male and female parts in a sealing engagement. The connector includes a ring surrounding the end of the collet remote from the engagement between the male and female parts to resist splaying of the collet at that end.

The connector without the male and female parts may also be used for connecting other such male and female parts.

The disclosure pertains to an assembly for use in connecting tubing to a fitting with zero dead volume.

An object is to provide a joint in which a tapered portion of a body to which surface treatment has been applied is not seized when a pipe is attached. The joint includes a body having a tapered portion on an inner peripheral surface of at least one end portion, a threaded portion on an outer peripheral surface of the at least one end portion, and a flow path therein; a ring having a tapered outer peripheral surface in sliding contact with the tapered portion of the body; and a nut pushing the tapered outer peripheral surface of the ring against the tapered surface of the body by being screwed with a parallel threaded portion of the threaded portion of the body to which a pipe is connected and, in which surface treatment for preventing adsorption of liquid is applied to a surface of the body.

A connecting device, in particular in the form of a hose coupling, with two coupling parts (3, 5) which are connectable to each other and are releasable again from each other and of which the one (3) uses a securing device (51) to secure a connecting hose (1) which produces a fluid-conducting connection to a connecting channel (15) of the other coupling part (5) in the coupled state, and with a sealing system (37, 71) which has a sealing ring (37) which, arranged in the region of the free end (7) of a coupling part (3), surrounds the accommodated connecting hose in a sealing manner, is characterized in that the sealing ring (37) projects over the free end (7) of the one coupling part (3) outwards towards the environment by a pre-determinable axial excess length, with a sealing surface (39) for the connecting hose (1) being formed.

A coupling device for coupling to a fluid line includes a coupler body having an end portion with a threaded outer surface and a conical inner surface. A fastener threadedly engages the threaded outer surface of the coupler body. A ferrule includes a rotational driving portion and a clamping portion having a threaded inner surface. When a tube is inserted through the ferrule and the fastener and into the end portion of the coupler body, the fastener threads onto the coupler body and the conical inner surface of the coupler body engages an outer surface of the clamping portion of the ferrule to substantially clamp the clamping portion of the ferrule around the tube. With the fastener tightened, the ferrule is rotatable relative to the fastener and the coupler body and the tube, whereby rotation of the ferrule moves the tube further into the coupler body.

A pipe connection arrangement for a fluid management system includes a pipe nut for releasably connecting an end portion of a pipe to a fluid port of the fluid management system. The pipe nut has a first portion having a toothed outer profile and a second portion configured to engage with a connection point portion of said fluid management system. An elongated drive member having a first end portion with a toothed outer profile is configured to cooperate with the toothed outer profile of the pipe nut, the first end portion further being configured to concentrically engage with a supplementary guide member adapted to be fixedly arranged adjacent the connection point portion of said fluid management system. When the elongated drive member is in engagement with the supplementary guide member, and the second portion of the pipe nut is in engagement with the connection point portion, the toothed outer profile and the toothed outer profile of the pipe nut are permitted to mesh together such that a rotation of said elongated drive member causes a corresponding rotation of the pipe nut for clamping the end portion to the fluid port or unclamping the end portion from the fluid port.
