摘要： A fitting, such as an anti-blowback fitting, that includes a friction reducing device that enables easy removal of the fitting from a high pressure connection such as one associated with an HVAC unit. When used in connection with refrigeration, anti-blow back fittings function to keep the refrigerant in the hose to which it is connected in order to minimize or prevent the refrigerant from escaping to the environment. In certain embodiments, a friction reducing device is positioned in the fitting, and decreases the load on the rear housing, which enables easy rotation of the outer or swivel housing of the fitting to remove the same from the high pressure connection. In certain embodiments, the friction reducing device is a thrust bearing.

摘要： In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an improved anti-rotation device for preventing rotation of two joined tubular members of a connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly includes a first threaded portion connected to a second threaded portion. The anti-rotation device includes at least one self-tapping screw installed in an associated threaded bore formed in and tangential to a flange of the second threaded portion. When installed, the at least one self-tapping screw engages a shoulder of the first threaded portion. A partial thread is formed in the shoulder of the first threaded portion by the at least one self-tapping screw, which forms a shear-resistive force that prevents rotation of the first threaded portion relative to the second threaded portion, and thus prevents rotation of one tubular member relative to the other.

摘要： A tubular member connection system includes a box having an inner diameter surface and internal box threads. A pin has an outer diameter surface and external pin threads, the pin threads shaped to mate with the box threads to releasably secure the pin to the box so that the pin and the box are aligned along a common central axis. A slot is located in one of the inner diameter surface and the outer diameter surface, the slot having a pair of sidewalls. An anti-rotation profile is located in the other of the inner diameter surface and the outer diameter surface. A key is sized to fit within the slot and have a key profile shaped to engage the anti-rotation profile and prevent relative rotational movement between the box and the pin.

摘要： A connector element is disclosed in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. The connector element is for coupling a first tubular element to a second tubular element, wherein the second tubular element is having an end configuration selected from a threaded end configuration and a non-threaded plain configuration. The connector element is having a threaded element complementary to the threads of the threaded end configuration of the second tubular element, a tube lock that is co-axially arranged with respect to and disposed downstream of the threaded element for holding the second tubular element, and a guide element that is co-axially arranged with respect to and disposed down-stream of the tube lock for guiding the second tubular element.

摘要： Underground drilling operation often requires connecting a drill tool (e.g., drill bit, backreamer, etc.) to a drill string. It is desirable to connect the drill tools to a drill string in a manner that facilitates quick and easy assembly and disassembly. Low torque coupling, commonly referred to as “torque-less” connection, can provide such functionality. The useful life and strength of such connections can be improved upon. The present disclosure provides a low torque coupling with improved strength and durability.

摘要： The present invention provides a connecting structure between gas assembly and gas transmission pipeline, comprising a gas transmission pipeline, a gas assembly and a gas assembly base. The gas transmission pipeline is for transmission of gas. The gas assembly is fixed on one end of the gas transmission pipeline, for configuration on a gas appliance. The gas assembly base is riveted on the outer side of one end of the gas assembly connecting the gas transmission pipeline, and abutted on a bulge loop preset on the outer side of the gas transmission pipeline; in this way, the gas transmission pipeline, gas assembly and gas assembly base can be fixed firmly together to avoid loosening or leakage.
