Abstract: This disclosure includes riser-component assemblies and methods of assembling the same that are suitable for managed pressure drilling (MPD) and that can be split apart when using pin connectors to connect auxiliary lines to other auxiliary lines and to components of the riser-component assemblies.

Abstract: This disclosure includes various connection devices and assemblies, such as telescoping riser joints, that include at least one of the present connection devices. Some of the present connection devices, for example, include a housing having a bore therethrough; a locking ring rotatably movable relative to the housing between a first position and a second position; and an engagement member laterally moveable relative to the bore of the housing between a retracted position and an extended position. In some such connection devices, the locking ring is configured such that movement from the first position to the second position causes the engagement member to move from the retracted position to the extended position.
