Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fitting assembly for maintaining a leak free seal connection with an associated fluid conduit during and after exposure to extreme heat. The fitting assembly comprises a coupling body including an inside surface defining a bore for receiving the associated fluid conduit. The inside surface engages an outside surface of the associated fluid conduit. At least one seal is formed on the inside surface of the coupling body. At least one ring is annularly disposed on the coupling body urging the at least one seal into the associated fluid conduit to seal and mechanically connect the coupling body to the associated fluid conduit. The coupling body is made of a first corrosion resistant material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion.

Abstract: A medical gas and vacuum system of a medical facility includes at least one medical gas source located at the medical facility that is capable of providing a positive flow to deliver a supplied gas or a negative flow to vacuum a retrieved gas. A plurality of spaced apart outlet ports is disposed within the medical facility for discharging the supplied gas and vacuuming the retrieved gas. A pipeline network fluidly connects the at least one medical gas source to the plurality of outlet ports. The pipeline network includes a plurality of pipeline fluid components through which the gas flows. At least one axially swaged fitting fluidly connects at least a first fluid component of the plurality of pipeline fluid components to a second fluid component of the plurality of pipeline fluid components. The fitting includes a coupling body defining at least one bore for receiving the first fluid component.

Abstract: A fitting for making connections with a pipe includes a coupling body having an inside surface defining a bore for receiving a pipe. A ring is fitted over the coupling body for sealing and mechanically connecting the coupling body to the pipe. An axisymmetrical main seal is formed on the inside surface of the coupling body that seals and connects to the pipe when the ring is installed on the coupling body. An axisymmetrical inboard seal is formed on the inside surface of the coupling body axially spaced from the main seal that seals and connects to the pipe when the ring is installed on the coupling body. At least one of the coupling body and the ring is configured so that the inboard seal seals and connects after the main seal seals and connects to the pipe. An axisymmetrical outboard seal is formed on the inside surface of the coupling body axially spaced from the main seal that connects to the pipe when the ring is installed on the coupling body.

Abstract: An installation tool assembly for advancing a fitting's swage ring onto a fitting's connector body while a conduit is received in the connector body to mechanically and sealingly connect the fitting to the conduit includes a body defining at least two spaced apart piston chambers, a fixed jaw connected to the body and adapted to engage one of the connector body or the swage ring, and a movable jaw connected to the body and movable relative to the fixed jaw. The movable jaw is adapted to engage the other of the connector body or the swage ring. Pistons are disposed in the at least two spaced piston chambers. The pistons and the movable jaw are configured such that movement of the pistons in a first direction moves the movable jaw toward the fixed jaw thereby moving the swage ring axially onto the connector body to mechanically and sealingly connect the connector body to the conduit received therein when the fixed and movable jaws are engaged to the connector body and swage ring.

Abstract: A fitting for a fluid conduit includes a coupling body having an inside surface for engaging an outside surface of a fluid conduit and a shoulder portion for limiting axial insertion of the fluid conduit into the coupling body. At least one seal is formed on the inside surface of the coupling body. The at least one seal includes a proximal seal adjacent the shoulder portion. A ring is annularly disposed on the coupling body urging the at least one seal into the fluid conduit to seal and mechanically connect the coupling body to the fluid conduit.

Abstract: A handheld hydraulic assembly tool for advancing a fitting's swage ring onto a fitting's connecting body while a conduit is received in the connector body to mechanically and sealingly connect the fitting to the conduit includes a clamping assembly defining a piston chamber fluidly connected to a pump chamber. The clamping assembly has a fixed jaw adapted to engage one of the connector body and the swage ring and a moveable jaw adapted to engage the other of the connector body and the swage ring. A piston is disposed in the piston chamber. The piston and the moveable jaw are configured such that movement of the piston in a first direction moves the moveable jaw toward the fixed jaw thereby moving the swage ring axially onto the connector body to mechanically and sealingly connect the connector body to the conduit received therein when the jaws are engaged to the connector body and the swage ring. A pump body defines the pump chamber and is connected to the clamping assembly.
