ABSTRACT:
A coupling apparatus for connection to a cylindrical member having a radially outward extending shoulder includes a body member. A collet assembly including a plurality of collet fingers is disposed around the body member and each of the collet fingers includes a radially inward extending flange adapted to engage a lower surface of the shoulder of the cylindrical member. An actuating sleeve operably associated with the collet assembly moves the flanges of the collet fingers between a radially expanded open position and a radially contracted closed position. An annular seal is provided between the body member and the cylindrical member. An adjustable collet positioning apparatus is operably associated with the body member and the collet assembly for adjusting a longitudinal position of the flanges of the collet fingers relative to the body member.
