A pipe connecting device comprises a connecting body including a first tube having a stop jaw at an end thereof and a second tube coupled to the first tube by a fastener and having an opening for insertion of a pipe, wherein a wedge groove is formed in the connecting body and includes rotary corners having a L-shaped cross section and surrounding a circumference of the pipe, rotary wedges each including a rotary part and an extension part, wherein the rotary part is provided in the wedge groove, has a semicircular cross section, and rotates while in tight contact with the rotary corners, and wherein the extension part is formed integrally with the rotary part, has teeth, and contacts the pipe, an elastic member contacting the rotary wedges to transfer a rotational force to the rotary wedges, and a sealing member embedded in the connecting body.

The present disclosure provides a pivot brace type pipe fitting, including: a body accommodating an entering pipe, and having a pivot corner having an inverted L-shaped cross section in an annular space surrounding a circumferential surface of the pipe; a plurality of pivot braces which are separated from an inside of the body and include a body adhesion unit in contact with the pivot corner and a pipe adhesion unit in contact with the pipe; and a pivot actuating member having a tightening strap surrounding the pivot brace and an actuator tightening the tightening strap, and bringing the pipe adhesion unit into close contact with the pipe by using the body adhesion unit as a pivot axis and pivoting the pivot brace.

A waterproof quick coupler which closes a port of a pressure vessel in an air-tight state during a water leakage inspection of a welding portion of the pressure vessel of a compressor. The quick coupler comprises: an outer body having an opening formed at a distal end portion thereof, an inner body flexibly disposed to be rotatable and linearly movable in the outer body; a cap coupled to the distal end portion of the outer body, and a fixing lever flexibly disposed between the inner body and the cap to clamp and unclamp a port of a pressure vessel when the inner body moves forward and backward, wherein the inner body may be locked in the outer body when moving backward, and may be unlocked from the outer body when the outer body rotates in one direction.

A drain pipe assembly for installation of a basin includes: a drain pipe which is inserted in a drain port formed in a base of basin and has a flange of which an upper end is caught by the drain port; and a fastening member which fixes the basin against the flange, wherein the fastening member pulls the drain pipe, which is exposed below the basin, in a downward direction, to upwardly press the basin, thereby fastening the basin and the drain pipe.

This coupling (R) comprises a male element (A) with a stepped outer groove (20), a female element (B) with locking balls (7), a locking ring (9) provided with a front inner notch and a rear inner notch axially separated by an inner rim, a spring that pushes the locking ring (9) back into the forward position, and a valve movable in the female element (B) and pushed by a spring (14) back to the closed position. The male element (A) comprises a valve movable in an inner channel (200) of the male element (A) and a spring (48) that pushes the valve of the male element (A) back toward a closed position of the inner channel (200).

This coupling (R) includes a male element (A) including a male body (2) provided with a locking relief (22), a purging ring (4) movable between a rear position, in which the purging ring closes off a purging passage of the male body, and a forward position, and a female element (B) including a female body (12, 14), a ball-retainer (23) carrying locking balls (18) of the male body, in a housing between a first position, in which they are able to oppose the removal of the locking relief, and a second position, in which the locking balls allow the removal of the locking relief, a valve body (25) secured to the ball-retainer, including coupling balls (27) suitable for securing the valve body and the female body in translation, an inner ring (29) suitable, in a retaining position, for keeping the valve body and the female body coupled by the coupling balls when the female element is uncoupled from the male element. In a first coupling configuration, the locking balls have crossed the locking relief of the male element; in a second coupling configuration, the inner ring has reached a position in which it no longer keeps the valve body and the female body coupled by the coupling balls; in a third coupling configuration, the female body keeps the locking balls in their first position; and in a fourth coupling configuration, the valve body has reached a position that allows fluid to pass between the two conduits. The female element includes steering means (32) able to drive the purging ring toward its forward position during the uncoupling.

An apparatus and method for crimping coupling rings are provided. The apparatus generally has a lower clamp head and an upper clamp head that may be drawn together by a fastener. The lower and upper clamp heads are designed to receive a first portion and a second portion of a coupling ring, respectively. A first and second post holds the clamp heads adjacent to each other. The upper clamp head is secured to the first post such that the upper clamp head may rotate in a generally circular motion to switch the apparatus from a closed to an open configuration, or vice versa. When the apparatus is placed in a closed configuration, the fastener may be engaged to draw the clamp heads together to increase the compressive force imposed on a coupling ring until the coupling ring becomes crimped.

A drain pipe assembly for installation of a basin includes: a drain pipe which is inserted in a drain port formed in a base of basin and has a flange of which an upper end is caught by the drain port; and a fastening member which fixes the basin against the flange, wherein the fastening member polls the drain pipe, which is exposed below the basin, in a downward direction, to upwardly press the basin, thereby fastening the basin and the drain pipe.

Disclosed is a waterproof quick coupler which closes a port of a pressure vessel in an air-tight state during a water leakage inspection of a welding portion of the pressure vessel of a compressor. The disclosed quick coupler comprises: an outer body having an opening formed at a distal end portion thereof; an inner body flexibly disposed to be rotatable and linearly movable in the outer body; a cap coupled to the distal end portion of the outer body; and a fixing lever flexibly disposed between the inner body and the cap to clamp and unclamp a port of a pressure vessel when the inner body moves forward and backward, wherein the inner body may be locked in the outer body when moving backward, and may be unlocked from the outer body when the outer body rotates in one direction.
