<p>A conduit coupling (20) is comprised of a male conduit (22), a mating female member (24), means for sealing (26) and a fastener (28) to couple the male conduit (22) to the female member (24). The male conduit (22) has a first and second expanded diametral portions (46 and 50) separated by a nominal diametral portion (48). The sealing means (26) externally surrounds the nominal diametral portion (48) and prevents fluid from passing between an exterior surface (40) of the male conduit (22) and an adjacent inside surface (74) of the female member (24). Thus, the total longitudinal length of the conduit coupling (20) is less than most threaded couplings.</p> |
