RESIN JOINT, CHANNEL BLOCK, AND FLUID CONTROL DEVICE
A resin joint includes a joint body having a flow path, sleeves, and union nuts that fix tubes to the joint body. The joint body has a body portion with a curved inner peripheral surface and a straight portion protruding from an end portion of the body portion. The straight portion has outer and inner cylindrical portions radially arranged inside the outer cylindrical portion. An end portion of the inner cylindrical portion is positioned closer to the body portion than is an end portion of the outer cylindrical portion. A groove portion extending parallel with the outer and inner cylindrical portions in an axial direction is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical portion and an outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion. The tube is fixed to the joint body such that a press-fit portion of the sleeve is press-fitted in the groove portion.
Riser System
A riser system with a primary conduit extends between a surface vessel and a subsea location and an auxiliary conduit that extends adjacent the primary conduit. In one example a composite jumper conduit extends from the surface vessel and is fluidly connected to the auxiliary conduit. The jumper conduit includes a composite material formed of at least a matrix and one or more reinforcing elements embedded within the matrix. In one example a subsea composite jumper conduit extends from subsea infrastructure and is fluidly connected to the auxiliary conduit. The subsea jumper conduit includes a composite material formed of at least a matrix and one or more reinforcing elements embedded within the matrix.
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.

FLUID CONNECTOR FOR TOILET
A toilet assembly includes a toilet, a non-vitreous fluid delivery component, and a connector assembly. The non-vitreous fluid delivery component is coupled to, and in fluid communication with, the toilet. The connector assembly couples the non-vitreous fluid delivery component to the toilet in a substantially watertight manner. The connector assembly includes a connector body, a nut adjustably coupled to the connector body, and a sealing member disposed on the connector body. The nut is configured to be adjusted relative to the connector body to cause the connector body to compress the sealing member against a portion of the toilet, such that the sealing member creates a substantially watertight seal between the toilet and the connector body.
NON-METALLIC CONDUIT HUBS
Non-metallic conduit hubs are provided herein, having a flange configured for attachment to an electrical box, a receiving member extending from a first side of the flange and defining a bore sized for receiving a conduit, an indexing indicator extending radially outward from the receiving member for providing a tactile indication of an orientation of the conduit hub, and an alignment member extending from a second side of the flange and having an outer diameter sized for insertion into an ingress/egress port of the electrical box, wherein the bore extends through the receiving member, the flange, and the alignment member to facilitate routing of wires from the conduit into the electrical box.

Half-ring segment, connection clamp, and connection device
The invention relates to an annular connection clamp with a first clamping flange (22) which protrudes radially inwards and with an axial counter bearing (24) which is spaced from the clamping flange and which is made of a first and a second half-ring segment (20), each half-ring segment having a first and a second segment end. The first segment end of the first half-ring segment (20) has latching means (281) of a first type, and the second segment end of the second half-ring segment has corresponding latching means (282) of a second type, said latching means being pushed into each other in a tangential direction, thereby being latchable together. The second segment end of the half-ring segment (20) has latching means (282) of a second type, and the first segment end of the second half-ring segment (20) has latching means (281) of a first type, said latching means being pushed into each other in a tangential direction, thereby being latchable together.

Tapered strut with mechanical fittings
A composite tapered tubular assembly includes a composite tapered tube extending between a first end and a second end and tapered so as to have a smaller radius R1 at the first end than a radius R2 at the second end. The assembly also includes a first internal annular wedge that is in contact with an inner surface of the tube at said first end and a first external annular wedge in contact with the outer surface of the tube at said first end. The assembly further includes a first nut provided at said first end that is configured to be connected to said first internal wedge and a second external annular wedge provided on an outer surface of the tube and a second internal annular wedge in contact with the inner surface of said composite tube at said second end, and a second nut connected to an internal surface.
