Device for connecting a tube end section, comprising: a tubular body defining a channel provided with retaining means including a hooking element for engaging an outer surface of the tube end section and an annular seal for gripping the outer surface of the tube end section. The device comprises at least a first arm having an end arranged in the channel to be actuated by the tube end section downstream of the retaining means to make a portion of the arm a connection control that which is detectable from outside the body.

Disclosed is a connection device for connecting an end section of a tube, comprising: a tubular body defining a channel, holding means for securing the tube end section within the channel in a sealed manner, and a bushing mounted in the channel to slide between a standby position in which the bushing is spaced apart from a stop at its recess within the channel and a recessed operating position in which the bushing presses against the stop. The bushing comprises, downstream from the holding means by reference to a direction of insertion of the end section of the tube into the body, at least one leg arranged to oppose the movement of the bushing toward the operating position and to be retracted by the end section of the tube when the bushing is engaged within the end section of the tube over a predetermined length.

A two-piece fitting for corrugated tubing having a body and one or more snap rings. Each snap ring is securely housed within the body near an opening to an inner area of the body. A plurality of first and second slots can extend in opposing directions through a ring wall of the snap ring. The first slots can, at least in part, define ring fingers having retention projections, and which are configured to provide an inwardly directed spring force at least at a first end of the snap ring. The second slots extend into at least some of the ring fingers, and can provide a second end of the snap ring with a generally outwardly directed spring force. An inner surface of the snap ring can be outwardly tapered at the second end of the snap ring to reduce the force used to insert the tube through the snap ring.

A push-to-connect fitting release assistance assembly, device and method allows for simplified manual operation of a push-to-connect fitting through a clip device capable of manual fit around a fitting adapted for such use. In various embodiments, the clip device comprises a base portion and first and second leg portions, where the leg portions are adapted to provide a gradually increasing or decreasing axial pressure to a release pusher member included as part of the fitting assembly. In various embodiments, the main body component of the fitting is adapted with axially inner, intermediate and outer portions that provide a snug mechanical fit with the clip device.

A rain tight connector may include a connector body, a gland nut coupled to the connector body, and a compression ring. A locknut is coupled to the connector body on the end portion thereof opposite to the gland nut. The compression ring includes a central portion and first and second coaxial end portions. The central portion defines an annular stop. A locking unit with a plurality of locking teeth is provided in the present invention to further secure the metal tube. More specifically, the locking unit can be inserted into the compressing ring to strengthen its structure to securely hole the metal tube

A ring member is disposed on a ring member mounting position. The ring member mounting position is a region between a pair of locking walls and is formed in a straight pipe shape. The ring member is in a substantially C shape with an opening at a part of its circumferential direction. The ring member may also be formed in a ring shape being connected at ring member joint parts. The ring member includes a reduced diameter part and first click parts protruding from the reduced diameter part substantially parallel in the pipe axial direction to form a slide guide. The ring member also includes second click parts of which outer diameters expand gradually from the reduced diameter part toward their tip ends. A male fitting part and a female fitting part are fitted with each other using the above ring member to obtain an electrical conduit. A connection structure for the electrical conduits, a bell block, a method for connecting electrical conduits, a method for connecting an electrical conduit and a bell block, a pipe coupling, and a ring member can be obtained thereby. The present invention can also provide a double-wall conduit of which an outer conduit is the electrical conduit having the same structures as the male fitting part and the female fitting part, a connection structure for the double-wall electrical conduits, and a conduit line using the connection structure.
