<p>A port is described which will lock on to a standard hose (12) and clamp nipple end (14), and accommodate more axial mismatch between the axis of the port and nipple (14) than is normally experienced in the fabrication of piping to join between two devices. A releasing means which will release the male from the port can also be included. When two ports are used in a sleeve-like device (20) in (Fig. 1), and releasers (18) in (Fig. 1), pipe (12) can be joined to nipple (14) as shown. Sleeve (20) can be slipped and (shipped) completely on to pipe (12), allowing installation of pipe (12) by simply positioning pipe (12) in the installed position, and sliding sleeve (20) over nipple (14). Removal requires operating releaser (18) and moving sleeve (20) back onto pipe (12). The system easily replaces existing hose and clamp installations, but is repairable in the field with a hose and clamps.</p> |
