ABSTRACT:
An external capture device for separable connectors used to connect fluid and electrical tubing and conduits. Two or more spring bands or clips are semi-circular and serrated in form and joined by one or more substantially axial bridges or bars. The spring clips are sized to tightly grip the driving external surfaces of the separable connector to be secured. The driving surfaces of the connector may be of differing circumference. Both axial distance and alignment of the driving surfaces are not critical to attachment of the capture device. The capture device may be added or removed from a closed connector, the bridge or bar forming a convenient means for gripping the device.
