A seal assembly is configured for use at PVCO pipe junctions. The seal assembly includes a main seal body made of a monolithic resilient material, such as rubber, and a stiffener. The seal has a stiffener pocket sized and configured to accept the stiffener, such that the stiffener can be assembled to the seal body by hand. This assembly can then be installed into the bell end of a first PVCO pipe, and a spigot end of a second PVCO pipe may then be inserted into the bell end and engaged with a main sealing lobe of the seal assembly. The seal assembly is configured to reliably withstand the insertion process, without damage or degradation to the sealing structures. Once installed, the seal assembly provides a robust fluid-tight seal along all potential leak paths between the seal assembly and the first and second pipes.

Hose barb fittings and apparatuses described herein provide increased fluid-flow rates for cooling loops used for thermal control in computer system. A hose barb fitting comprises a fluid-flow passage that extends through the hose barb fitting from a first opening to a second opening. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the fluid-flow passage to the cross-sectional area of the hose barb fitting is between 0.4 and 0.7, inclusive. When the hose barb fitting is fully seated within a housing structure, a specialized gasket acts as both a radial seal and a face seal. Also, a flange extending from the housing structure engages with a flange extending from the hose barb fitting to prevent the hose barb fitting from being unseated.

A pipe fitting having a first body and a second body that together at least partially define a fluid flow passage. The first body defines a first portion of the fluid flow passage that extends from a first end of the fluid flow passage to a first internal opening. The second body defines a second portion of the fluid flow passage that extends from a second internal opening to a second end of the fluid flow passage. The first body has a first interface surface that surrounds the first internal opening, the first interface surface having a plurality of anti-rotation grooves. The second body has a second interface surface that surrounds the second internal opening and engages with the first interface surface. The first internal opening is in fluid communication with the second internal opening. The second interface surface has a plurality of anti-rotation fingers that are each received by and engage with a corresponding one of the anti-rotation grooves. Rotation of the second body relative to the first body is resisted by the engagement of the anti-rotation fingers with the anti-rotation grooves.

A sealing profile for embedding into a moulding of curable material, in particular a concrete or plastic moulding, and to a sealing arrangement comprising such a sealing profile. The object of the present invention is to provide a sealing profile for embedding into a moulding of curable material that can be anchored into the moulding in particular such that displacements of the seal in its seat occur to a significantly lesser extent, if at all, when installing or assembling the mouldings. The object is achieved by a sealing profile (1) with a profile region (2) having a profile region surface (4) which is directed towards the moulding (3) after embedding the sealing profile (1), wherein the profile region (2) has, at least in one subregion (6), a non-woven, felted or random fibre layer (5) which is fixedly connected to the sealing profile (1) and which extend beyond the profile region surface (4).

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).
