International Classification:

F16L 35/00

US Classification:

285 92, 285282, 285114

Abstract:

A banjo fitting is disclosed comprising a block, a stud, a saddle washer pair and a cap. The saddle washer pair is bent so as to partially surround and clip onto the block. In this manner the block and washer pair form a single unit to simplify installation of the banjo fitting. The block further includes a pair of walls that extend from opposite faces of the block and engage the stud so as to provide a clocking feature. In this manner, the stud and the block remain properly aligned even as the cap is tightened on the stud to secure the block.

Abstract:

An improved tubular system for transporting a fluid at high temperature and high pressure is described wherein the improved tubular system includes a first rigid tubular segment having an axial bore including a male connector end fitting portion terminating at a proximal end thereof, the male connector end fitting portion comprising a radial shoulder surface having an outer circumferential rim, the radial shoulder surface being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first rigid tubular segment, the male connector end fitting portion further comprises an end fitting body section exhibiting a frusto conical configuration slpingly extending a specified length from the circumferential rim toward the proximal end of the tubular segment; a seal member fixed on a tubular surface of the first tubular member at the terminus of the end fitting body section, with the proviso that the seal member is fixed on the tubular surface in the absence of a groove in the first tubular surface; and a second rigid tubular segment having an axial bore for transporting fluid at high temperature and high pressure, the second rigid tubular segment including a female connector end fitting portion terminating at a proximal end thereof, the female connector end fitting portion comprising an opening defining an inner cavity, the inner cavity exhibiting a tapered.
