A gasket connector assembly and method of creating a connection is described. The gasket includes a ring portion having a thickness suitable for creating a seal when compressed between two connector fitting ends, and at least one appendage pair, where each appendage of the at least one appendage pair includes an extension for engaging a reciprocally shaped receiving component on a connector fitting end to create an at least temporarily secured attachment of the gasket to the end of the connector fitting prior to creation of a seal between two connector fitting ends. The connector assembly includes a connector fitting having at least one receiving component on an end of the connector fitting and a gasket having at least one appendage, where the at least one appendage of the gasket engages the at least one receiving component to create an at least temporary secured attachment of the gasket to the connector fitting end. |
