ABSTRACT:
A radial conduit coupling is provided. The conduit coupling may include a tubular first connector having an exterior diameter, an interior diameter and first and second ends. The first end may be adapted to receive a first conduit. The second end may include at least one locking lug configured to cooperate with at least one shaped cavity associated with a component of a conduit system. The locking lug may extend from at least one tab lock disposed at the second end of the first connector. In one embodiment, a protrusion may extend from the interior diameter and generally separate the first end from the second end. The protrusion may include an interior diameter which generally corresponds to the interior diameter of the first conduit. A sealing surface may be disposed between the protrusion and the locking lug, and the sealing surface may be configured to cooperate with the second sealing surface associated with a second connector to form a generally fluid tight seal between the first connector and the second connector.
