Abstract: Sleeve part of a pipe joint wherein the sleeve part includes a chamber space, into which the opposing butt ends of the pipe parts to be connected together are placed such that the sleeve part extends a distance from the point of connection of the pipe parts to be connected together on top of both pipe parts. The sleeve part includes heating member, such as resistance wires. As a consequence of the heating of the resistance wires a joint forms between the sleeve part and the pipe parts. An inspection aperture is formed in the sleeve part through the wall of the sleeve part from the exterior to the interior to a point where the positioning of the opposing butt end surfaces of the pipe parts to be connected together can be verified. The invention also relates to a pipe joint.

Abstract: A keyed coupling assembly and kit for use with a coupling having a pair of connectable coupling members. The keyed coupling assembly includes a keyed member associated with each coupling member to permit the coupling members to mate with each other when the keyed members match, yet prevent the unwanted mating of the coupling members with each other when the keyed members do not match. The keyed coupling assembly is capable of ensuring that a fluid connection can only be made between matching keyed components, thereby ensuring that the characteristics of the fluid (e.g., type of fluid, fluid pressure, and/or fluid direction) delivered from one coupling member to the other is proper.

Abstract: A retainer is equipped with a regulation segment, which regulates the position of an O-ring placed in an insertion hole, and a prevention segment, which engages with a spool of a pipe and prevents the pipe from being removed from the insertion hole. Moreover, by moving the retainer toward the minus side in the Y direction and attaching it to an attachment segment, the retainer becomes sandwiched between an opposing wall portion and a tube segment in the X direction. Because of this, the number of parts can be reduced and the retainer that regulates the position of the O-ring can be prevented from being moved in the X direction by the pressure of fluid flowing inside the pipe connector in the X direction.

Abstract: Push-fit pipe coupling assembly includes a demount tool and a pipe coupling. Each demount tool is in the form of a part ring having an internal thread and a pressing portion. Each coupling includes a body having an exterior thread and a demount collar. In use, the thread of demount tool engages with the exterior thread. As the demount tool moves, an abutting shoulder of the pressing portion comes into contact with the engaging portion of demount collar. This forces an angled contact surface to press on the teeth of a grab ring, preventing the teeth from engaging with a pipe inserted into the coupling, allowing the relative position of pipe and coupling to be adjusted.

Abstract: A flow adjusting apparatus adjusts the flow rate of a fluid flowing in a plurality of tubes. The flow adjusting apparatus includes a tube coupling joint having a joint body and a plurality of engaging lugs. The joint body has a plurality of connection holes for connecting the tubes, respectively. The engaging lugs are mounted on the inner circumferential surfaces of the connection holes of the joint body and engage the outer circumferential surfaces of the tubes, respectively. The flow adjusting apparatus further includes a plurality of inner sleeves having outer diameters respectively corresponding to the inner diameters of the tubes. The inner sleeves increase the engaging forces of the engaging lugs against the outer circumferential surfaces of the tubes inserted in the connection holes of the joint body. The inner sleeves have different inner diameters to produce different flow rates of the fluid flowing in the tubes.

Abstract: Provided is a piping connection structure which assigns a function to restrict a pipe body from coming off to a member other than a resin tube, improves in sealing performance and can suppress the amount of fuel permeation. A resin tube comprises a tube body portion; a first diameter-expanding portion formed to increase in diameter from an axial end of the tube body portion and axially positioning seal members by holding the seal members in an axial gap with a retainer; and a second diameter-expanding portion formed to further increase in diameter from the first diameter-expanding portion, and to contact an outer circumferential side of the seal members and be connected to the retainer while in contact with the retainer. Thickness of the first diameter-expanding portion is equal to or greater than thickness of the tube body portion.
