The clamping device includes several clamping members (24) pivotable relative to a connector and an actuating device (54) operable to move the clamping members. The clamping members are located in a first position pivoted away from the connector whilst the two connector parts (2,3) are being aligned relative to each other. The actuating device is operable to pivot the clamping members to a second position adjacent the connector and then to cause the clamping members to move to a third position so as to engage the first connector part so that the two parts are clamped together in sealing engagement. The two-part connector (1) for use in connecting and disconnecting fluid carrying conduits comprise first and second connector parts (2,3) each having at least one fluid carrying duct (15); a valve member (17) for each duct, each duct in the first connector part (2) being aligned with each duct in the second connector part (3) when the two connector parts are connected together; and a releasable clamping device to retain the two connector parts together in sealing connector part (3). The clamping device is mounted on the second connector part (3) and includes actuating device (54). |
