PIPE COUPLING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENT OF COUPLING RINGS

摘要

A pipe coupling assembly for preventing longitudinal movement of first and second coupling rings disposed on first and second pipe sections is provided. The pipe coupling assembly includes a first clamping assembly disposed around a portion of an outer surface of the first pipe section and to abut against the first coupling ring. The pipe coupling assembly further includes a second clamping assembly disposed around a portion of an outer surface of the second pipe section and to abut against the second coupling ring. The pipe coupling assembly further includes a first threaded shaft coupled to both the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly to prevent longitudinal movement of the first and second clamping assemblies.
