  • Patent number: 11815730
    Abstract: A sanitary in-line sight glass assembly is provided having separate first and second hollow connection bodies and a transparent tube retainable between and within the connection bodies when the connection bodies are secured together in an end-to-end abutting relationship. Gaskets are located within the connection bodies at opposite ends of the transparent tube and a clamp is provided for securing the ends of the connection bodies together such that the gaskets are compressed and form seals. The connection bodies include sidewalls having at least one opening through which the transparent tube is exposed for providing a viewing window into a flow path defined by the assembly. The clamp may be a circumferentially-extending clamp having ends secured together with a winged fastener able to be gripped by the hand of an installer such that the assembly can be assembled and disassembled manually without the use of a tool.

  • Publication number: 20230323989
    Abstract: Thread-less and fastener-less hangers for a pipe or tube are provided. The hanger has arms that can be pivoted to an open position for receiving insertion of a pipe or tube between the arms, and to a closed position, in which the arms are positioned to grip and hold the pipe or tube. When the arms are in the closed position, a latch or cam mechanism engages the arms in a manner that locks the arms in the closed position thereby preventing pivoting of the arms and release of the pipe or tube. Hanger assemblies and methods of securing a pipe or tube to a hanger are also provided.
