<p>A retainer clip (10) for holding a gasket (14) between the ends of two coupling components (16, 18) includes a first resilient annular member (42) extending circumferentially about two-thirds of a circle, a second resilient annular member (44) having circumferential ends and a discontinuity between the ends, and a bridge connecting the first (42) and second (44) resilient annular members. The bridge has a circumferential extent of less than 45°, and the first resilient annular member (42) is circumferentially expandable without causing the second resilient annular member (44) to expand.</p> |
