  • Patent number: 6361084
    Abstract: A connector sleeve (2) has a structure-attachment flange (9) on a flange end, a seal surface (4, 5, 15, 17) on a seal end and a nut-retainer ring (8, 14, 16) intermediate the structure-attachment flange and the seal end of an outside periphery of the connector sleeve. A connector nut (7) is contained rotatably on the outside periphery of the connector sleeve with the nut-retainer ring buttressing a retainer wall that is intermediate a circumferentially pipe-engagement inside periphery and a larger circumferentially straight-threaded inside periphery of the connector nut. Straight inside threading on the inside periphery of the connector nut is matched to straight outside threading of a fluid-controller sleeve (3). The pipe-engagement inside periphery of the connector nut and an inside periphery of the fluid-controller sleeve have slidable clearance of outside peripheral portions of an intended pipe (6).
