摘要: A coupling for interconnecting a first pipe element and a second pipe element. The coupling comprises a first coupling member on the first pipe element, and a second coupling member on the second pipe element. The second coupling member is dimensioned to receive therein the first coupling member. The coupling also includes a retainer element having threads to engage the first coupling member to retain the first and second coupling members in a coupled state. The retainer element includes a lock feature to prevent inadvertent loosening rotation.

摘要: A coupling for interconnecting sections of pipe. The coupling includes a first pipe element having a first coupling member in the form of a female socket, and a second pipe element having a second coupling member in the form of a male plug. The socket of the first pipe element is dimensioned to receive therein the plug of the second pipe element. The coupling also includes a seal interface to prevent passage of air or fluids through an annular gap between the socket of the first coupling member and the plug of the second coupling member. The seal interface includes a sealing element and a sealing element retainer. The sealing element retainer is positioned internally of the coupling, within a cylindrical cavity of the socket.
