Abstract:
A fitting for a fluid pressure conduit, said fitting comprising:a first coupling body having a substantially axisymmetrical inside surface, said inside surface for engaging an outside surface of a first fluid pressure conduit; at least one substantially axisymmetrical seal formed as at least one axisymmetrical ridge on said inside surface of said coupling body; at least one seal land formed on an outside surface of said coupling body adjacent said at least one substantially axisymmetrical seal; a plurality of spaced apart anti torsion ridges on said inside surface of said coupling body, said anti torsion ridges having friction surfaces for resisting torsion between said fitting and the fluid pressure conduit; at least one torsion land formed on said outside surface of said coupling body adjacent said plurality of spaced apart anti torsion ridges; and a ring fitting over said coupling body, said ring engaging said at least one seal land to force and hold said at least one seal into engagement with an outside surface of the fluid pressure conduit, said ring further engaging said at least one torsion land to force and hold said plurality of spaced apart anti torsion ridges into engagement with the fluid pressure conduit.
