A clamp assembly has a clamp with a clamp band and a clamping device for clamping the clamping band and has a heat protection device with a housing and at least one insulating layer. The housing has a respective wall at each axial end face, the wall being divided into sections and protruding radially inwards, and the at least one insulating layer can be positioned between the walls of the housing. The clamp can be surrounded at least in some regions by the housing and/or the at least one insulating layer of the heat protection device, and the heat protection device is designed to be connectable to the clamp.

A coupling arrangement (100) for connecting thermally insulated, fluid-conducting lines (102, 104) has a coupling (101) comprising a first coupling part (106) and a second coupling part (108), and connecting means (110) for connecting the two coupling parts (106, 108). A covering (112) surrounding the coupling (101) is provided, which covering, on both sides of the coupling (101), in each case lies against the thermal insulation of the fluid-conducting lines (102, 104). A cavity (114) formed by the covering (112) is configured for thermal insulation between the coupling (101) and the exterior of the covering (112).

A custom connector kit for connecting 2 flexible ducts together includes a connector device. The connector device is configured to connect two flexible ducts together. The connector device includes a first male connection end and a second male connection end. The first male connection end is at a first distal end of the connector device. The first male connection end is configured to be connected to a first flexible duct. The first male connection end includes a first diameter sized to fit securely inside of the first flexible duct. The second male connection end is at a second distal end of the connector device. The second male connection end is configured to be connected to a second flexible duct. The second male connection end includes a second diameter sized to fit securely inside of the second flexible duct.

An embodiment of the duct coupling arrangement 1 includes a first coupling member 2 that is configured for axial connection to a first length of ducting 3. The first coupling member 2 defines a male coupling formation. A second coupling member 9 is also configured for axial connection to a length of ducting, the second coupling member defining a female coupling formation. The male coupling formation and the female coupling formation are configured to make an interference fit with each other so as to toollessly axially couple to, and de-couple from, each other.

The disclosure relates to an end fitting (40) for connecting a flexible pipe for transporting a cryogenic fluid, comprising thermal insulation means (65) interposed between the cold part (41) of the connecting end fitting and the rear part (51) for crimping the end of a leak proof sealed external sheath (9) of said flexible pipe.
