20090179419 | Adjustable offset bushing type coupling - A nested bushing coupling for attaching a plumbing component to a conduit. The assembly includes at least one or more nested bushings having off-centered openings which may be situated at various orientations within a receiver. | 07-16-2009 |
20090256348 | MULTI-ATTACHMENT FITTING - A water delivery component includes a fitting that can accommodate different types of connections. For example, a spout shank assembly or a valve assembly includes a fitting that can interface with hosing, piping or other conduit using a quick-connect method or a PEX connect method. | 10-15-2009 |
20100090456 | INTERCHANGEABLE FITTING SYSTEM AND METHOD - An interchangeable fitting system generally involving a fitting, the fitting including a male connector and a female connector, the male and female connectors each having a forward portion and an aft portion, the male connector being interfaceable with a plurality of non-system female connectors, and the female connector being interfaceable with a plurality of non-system male connectors, the male connector having a primary sealing structure and a secondary sealing structure, the female connector having a primary sealing structure and a secondary sealing structure, and the male primary sealing structure being interfaceable with the female primary sealing structure, and the male secondary sealing structure being interfaceable with the female secondary sealing structure. | 04-15-2010 |
20100148488 | Coupler fitting with male and female joint ends - A pipe, hose, or tube coupler fitting that has a male and a female adaption joint on one or all of its ends and a body that connects these ends. On the outermost end of the fitting body ( | 06-17-2010 |
20130113202 | CONNECTION ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING THE SAME - The present invention relates to a connection arrangement ( | 05-09-2013 |
20130113203 | KIT OF PARTS FOR ASSEMBLING A HOSE CONNECTION, A FUEL DISPENSING UNIT HAVING SUCH A HOSE CONNECTION, AND A METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SUCH A HOSE CONNECTION - The present invention relates to a kit of parts ( | 05-09-2013 |
20140265303 | COMBINATION GLUE HUB AND MECHANICAL COUPLER FOR PIPE FITTINGS - A fitting for plumbing systems, such as drain/waste/ventilation (DWV) systems that is chemically and mechanically joinable is described. A socket of the fitting has an interior surface configured for chemically joining with tubing. An exterior surface of the socket includes a plurality of projections extending radially outward therefrom. A collar that includes a sidewall with a plurality of bayonet-style channels configured to engage respective projections is provided. Interaction of the projections with the channels during rotation of the collar with respect to the fitting draws the collar toward the fitting and compresses an O-ring between the collar, socket, and tubing inserted therein to form a fluid-tight seal and/or mechanically couple the tubing in the socket. The collar may include longitudinally depending flanges that are depressed against the tubing by a compression ring to mechanically couple the tubing in the socket. | 09-18-2014 |
20150376973 | TUNABLE FLOATING SEAL INSERT - A system including, a mineral extraction component, a conduit fitting coupled to the mineral extraction component, a floating seal insert disposed in the conduit fitting. The floating seal insert includes a feature configured to tune a fluid dynamic characteristic along a liquid flow path through the conduit fitting and the floating seal insert. Furthermore, the fluid dynamic characteristic can be shockwaves, flow rate, turbulence, etc. | 12-31-2015 |
