Abstract: A seal system includes a first connector member, a second connector member, a gland structure, and a seal member. The first and second connector members include respective seal structures. The second connector member is configured for connection to the first connector member. The gland structure is defined by the first connector member and the second connector member, and is located between the first and the second seal structures. The seal member is at least partially positioned in the gland structure. The first and second seal structures are configured to deform the seal member into the gland structure in response to connection of the first connector member and the second connector member.

Abstract: A fluid flow nozzle is provided that comprises an elongated body having an inlet end and an outlet end, and defining a channel extending therethrough in which the channel includes an inlet channel and an outlet channel having an outlet diameter that is less than the inlet diameter. The channel further defining a tapered channel extending from the inlet channel to the outlet channel with a plurality of vanes or grooves circumferentially spaced around the tapered channel to increase flow velocity while reducing turbulence and divergence of the discharge stream.

Abstract: A coupling assembly includes a mechanical attachment to accommodate various diameter fluid passages and resists rotational forces of attaching and detaching a hose from the hose coupler. The mechanical attachment includes a shank having a shoulder defining a space with a conduit of the hose coupling assembly or with a spacer disposed in the conduit. A threaded coupler includes a projecting portion disposed adjacent to the shoulder. The threaded coupler includes a key, or a recess to mate with a key, to substantially prevent rotation of the threaded coupler with respect to the hose coupler.
