ABSTRACT:
A coupling is provided which is particularly suitable for refrigeration service and air conditioning systems. The coupling includes a body portion, an adapter portion, a collar and a gasket. The body and adapter portions are connected to two conduits or the like containing fluid therein. The adapter has a sealing channel formed therein while the body portion has a mating piece attached thereto. The mating piece is positioned to be received in a predetermined spaced relation with respect to the sealing channel of the adapter. The gasket is disposed within a sealing channel formed by the body and adapter portions. The collar is rotatable and connects the body portion to the adapter portion, thereby compressing the gasket within the sealing channel. The coupling is also provided with a second sealing channel for additional sealing.
