<p>A connector (301) is provided for coupling a tubular member (303) to a selected apparatus. The tubular member (303) has inner and outer surfaces (305, 307) and terminates at an end (311) with the inner surface (305) at least in-part defining a central bore (309). A central body (313) is provided with first and second ends. A linkage member (315) is disposed at the first end of the central body (313) for connecting the central body (313) to a selected apparatus. A tubing coupler (317) is disposed at the second end of the central body, and is operable in an insertion mode of operation in a radially-reduced position for insertion into the central bore (309) of the tubular member (303) and a coupling mode of operation in a radially-expanded position for grippingly and sealingly engaging the inner surface (305) of the tubular member (303).</p> |
