ABSTRACT:
The connector assembly includes a clamp having a segmented latch ring radially disposed therein and mating hubs on tubular members to be connected. A downwardly facing shoulder of the clamp engages the upwardly facing shoulder of an end hub on one of the tubular members. The segmented latch ring includes a plurality of latch segments having a T-slot for receiving actuator screws which, when rotated, cause the latch ring segments to move radially inward to engage a downwardly facing shoulder on an end hub of the other tubular member. Upon actuation, the hubs are compressed together for connecting the tubular members.
