Fitting assembly comprising a socket and an interchangeable ring.
A coupling assembly comprising a socket (10) and an interchangeable ring mounted in the free end of the socket. The ring includes a ring body extending axially between a first, inner face (31) and a second, outer face (32) on the free end of the socket. The ring comprises an external seal (40) on the ring body provided in compression in the socket between the ring and the socket, and an internal seal for sealing between the ring and a pipe to be inserted, the internal seal having a lip which extends between an anchoring end on the second outer face and a free end.
PLASTIC SEAL FITTING
A seal assembly for an HVAC system includes a first block having a first aperture and a first sealing surface, a second block having a second aperture and a second sealing, and a conduit having a tube portion with an axially extending aperture and a flange extending radially outwardly from an end of the tube portion. The tube portion is disposed within the first aperture of the first block and the flange is disposed between the first sealing surface of the first block and the second sealing surface of the second block and is configured to deform when compressed therebetween. The seal assembly further includes an insert providing fluid communication between the aperture of the tube portion and the second aperture of the second block. A first end of the insert is received in the aperture of the tube portion of the conduit.
NIPPLE ASSEMBLY
A nipple assembly includes nipple bodies configured so that one end portion of each of the nipple bodies is inserted into a housing so as to be coupled to a cooling medium inlet or a cooling medium outlet of a heat exchanger and a remaining end portion of each of the nipple bodies protrudes outwards from the housing, at least one first sealing unit sealing a gap between the one end portion of each of the nipple bodies and the cooling medium inlet or the cooling medium outlet, a flange portion formed at a position between two end portions of each of the nipple bodies to be coupled to the housing, and a second sealing unit including a first sealing portion sealing a gap between the flange portion and the housing and a second sealing portion configured to extend from the first sealing portion.
Pre-assembled pipe coupling with an insertion boundary for axial receipt of pipe ends
A pre-assembled pipe coupling includes a gasket, a housing surrounding the gasket, and a fastener. The housing has three segments sequentially coupled to each other to define an insertion boundary. A bridge segment has a first mount extending lateral from the wall and having a plurality of first lateral walls defining a first aperture and a second mount having a plurality of second lateral walls defining a second aperture. A first clamp segment has a first hook disposed in the first aperture. A second clamp segment has a second hook disposed in the second aperture. The fastener is disposed through the first fastener aperture and the second fastener aperture. The fastener has an adjusted length at which the first clamp segment grips the gasket, and the second clamp segment grips the gasket to locate the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip within the insertion boundary.
CONNECTOR AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY FOR MULTI-CHAMBER PROFILES AND/OR CONDUITS
A connector for two fluid conduits of different geometries includes a housing having a first and a second connection portion and a fluid channel fluidically connecting both connection portions; a locking element which can be coupled to the housing; and a seal which can be positioned between the housing and the locking element. The locking element and the housing can be positioned relative to one another with respect to the fluid channel such that a receiving portion for receiving the seal is formed between the housing and the locking housing. The first connection portion is designed to connect a first fluid conduit with an elongated cross-section and the second connection portion is designed to connect a second fluid conduit with a round cross-section.
CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
A connector assembly comprising: a first connector part and a second connector part, each connector part defining a fluid flow passage therethrough configured to together define a fluid flow conduit when the first and second parts are connected together, the connector assembly further comprising an extension part mounted around one of the first and the second connector parts, the extension part arranged to move relative to the connector part around which it is mounted to extend across an interface area between the first connector part and the second connector part and to bridge the first and second connector parts when the first and second connector parts are brought to meet each other to define the fluid conduit.
COOLANT CONNECTING PIECE, HOUSING SYSTEM AND PRODUCTION THEREOF
A coolant connecting piece (100) for conducting coolant between a first housing (201, 503) and a second housing (203, 507). The coolant connecting piece (100) comprises a cylindrical main body (101) with a coolant channel formed on an inner side of the main body (101), and a protective ring (103) with a drip edge (117), wherein a cross-section of the protective ring (103) is greater than a cross-section of the main body (101), and wherein the drip edge (117) is configured to let condensate running off on an outer side of the main body (101), opposite the inner side, drip off into a predetermined region (213).
Extended range encapsulation shell
A conduit coupling assembly having first and second sleeve members configured to be tightened to a fluid conduit, an arcuate radial split gasket configured to be positioned between the first and second sleeve members and the fluid conduit, the first sleeve member having an inwardly-facing arcuate radial surface with first and second arcuate portions and a third arcuate portion between the first and second arcuate portions that has a radius from the longitudinal axis of the pipe that is less than the radius of the first and second arcuate portions, and the second sleeve member having an inwardly-facing arcuate radial surface with first and second arcuate portions and a third arcuate portion between the first and second arcuate portions that has a radius from the longitudinal axis of the pipe that is less than the radius of the first and second arcuate portions.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PIPE PACKING
The present inventive concept relates to a method of manufacturing a pipe packing inserted into a housing having a hollow body shape to prevent fluid flowing inside a pipe from leaking to the outside, the method including: manufacturing the pipe packing by injecting molten rubber into a mold assembly having an outer mold and an inner mold, wherein the pipe packing is configured as a hollow body and comprises an outer circumferential part located outside of the pipe relative thereto, opposite surfaces provided in directions toward a middle of the pipe packing at opposite ends of the outer circumferential part, and an inner circumferential part provided toward a center portion of the opposite surfaces therefrom, wherein the inner circumferential part has a gap provided therein to be divided into opposite inner circumferential parts.
Segmental duct coupler devices, systems, and methods
Segmental duct coupler devices, systems, and methods are provided herein. A duct coupler device can include a single, discrete body of material for welding to a duct segment. A system, including a duct segment having a duct coupler device welded thereto, is provided. The connection or points of connection between the duct coupler device and the duct segment in the system are devoid of internal and/or external seals. The duct coupler device and system can be cast in concrete. Multiple concrete segments can be assembled together to form a bridge, a roadway, a building, a slab, or any other structure.
