ABSTRACT:
A port is described which will lock on to a standard hose and clamp nipple end, and accommodate more axial mis-match between the axis of the port and nipple than is normally experienced in the fabrication of piping to join between two devices. A releasing member which will release the male from the port can also be included. When two ports are used in a sleeve-like device 20 in FIG. 1, and releasers 18 in FIG. 1, pipe 12 can be joined to nipple 14 as shown. Sleeve 20 can be slipped (and shipped) completely on to pipe 12, allowing installation of pipe 12 by simply positioning pipe 12 in the installed position, and sliding sleeve 20 over nipple 14. Removal requires operating releaser 18 and moving sleeve 20 back onto pipe 12. The system easily replaces existing hose and clamp installations, but is repairable in the field with a hose and clamps.
