  • Patent number: 4722555
    Abstract: A quick-connect pressurizable coupling assembly having mating male and female head parts each integrally attached to an outwardly flared pipe end by being cast around the pipe. The male head part is provided at its forward end with an angled sealing surface having an adjacent annular radial outward projection. The female part is provided at its forward end with an annular shaped inner recess for retaining a resilient sealing ring and it also has an annular outer curved surface. A clamping unit encircles the female part curved surface, and is equipped with an annular clamping ring having at least one short hook and at least one long hook having a handle grip and pivotally attached to the clamping ring. The two hooks are adapted for attachment to the annular radial projection of the male part, thereby providing for the male and female head parts to be conveniently connected together to provide a pressurizable joint for the pipes.
