A clamshell coupling (12) for a conduit system (10) is provided. The clamshell coupling may comprise at least one longitudinal housing (50a, 50b) having first and second ends (56, 58) adapted to receive sections of conduit (32, 34). A restraint system may be disposed on an interior surface (54) of the longitudinal housing. The restraint system operates to actively engage at least one conduit and resist a longitudinal load between the clamshell coupling and the conduit. A coupling system (88, 89) may be used to secure the longitudinal housings to the tubular members.
