Abstract: This fastener assembly includes a body, an elongated member and a split wedge. The body defines a cavity that converges. An access opening at a small end provides access to the cavity. The member has a circumferential external profile at one end. The split wedge has two or more wedge segments with a flexible hinge connecting each of the wedge segments. Each of the wedge segments has an internal profile. The member is inserted through the access opening into the cavity of the body, the wedge segments of the split wedge are positioned circumferentially around the member and then the split wedge is wedged in the cavity to maintain the external profile of the member engaged with the internal profile of the wedge segments of the split wedge.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising an inner part including an external thread and a slot with a non-circular cross section in a plane perpendicular to the screw axis of the external thread. The slot is configured to locate an elongate member with a corresponding non-circular cross section, such that when located in the slot the elongate member is rotatably fixed relative to the slot. The apparatus further comprises an outer part including an internal surface that comprises a threaded portion, wherein the outer part is configured to threadably rotate around the inner part.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pipe coupling for connecting the ends of two tubular conduits comprising: an annular gasket arrangement comprising: an annular ring for straddling two such conduit ends, wherein the annular ring is formed with a pair inwardly facing annular recesses; and a pair of annular sealing elements each located in a corresponding one of the annular recesses and each for sealing around a corresponding one of two such conduit ends; and a casing arrangement comprising a plurality of casing elements connected together by fixing elements so as to surround the gasket arrangement, wherein the casing arrangement comprises a pair of radially inwardly extending projection arrangements, each projection arrangement for engaging an annular groove formed in each such conduit end.

Abstract: An assembly having a first body including a housing for interconnecting with a second body, the housing being provided with an inlet for receiving the end of the second body and the second body having a portion with an external diameter different from the remainder of the second body, and means for securing said second body end within said inlet, said securing means having at least one first securing member to engage the second body at said different external diameter portion thereby to secure said second body end within said inlet.

Abstract: A central heating radiator assembly comprises a radiator panel (1) having a liquid inlet (25, 7) and liquid outlet (7, 21). Attachment means (29) are for attaching the panel to a wall (27) and pivot means (29) enable the panel to be rotated away from the wall about an upright axis. The invention also provides a method of installing a central heating radiator assembly and a kit of parts for such installation.

Abstract: A cable entry system includes a length of a grooved pipe adapted for extending through a bore in a wall. A further length of pipe is able to be connected to a rear portion of a socket on an inner side of the wall, with a cap having an aperture through which a cable is able to pass. An additional length of pipe is adapted to be closed by the cap on an outer side of the wall. The cap may be provided with an external circumferential tooth for snapping into a groove of the grooved pipe. In an alternative embodiment, the aperture in the cap is formed by an axially extending slot, which extends through the inner end of the cap, so that the cap may be fitted after installation of the cable.
