Patent ID: 8214941

Claim:
A fitting suitable to be mounted on a member selected from the group consisting of pipes and rods, where the member is positionable to extend essentially horizontally through an essentially vertical wall, the fitting comprising: a fitting body having a rear axially extending cavity for receiving the member in telescoping fashion; at least one washer and at least one o-ring positioned in the cavity; a clamp structure having at least a first and second separate non-integral clamp parts, the clamp structure being configured so as to be positionable around the member between the member and the fitting body if the member is inserted in the cavity; a hole extending radially from the cavity through a wall of the fitting body; and a screw in the hole; whereby, if an end of the member is positioned in the cavity, the screw can be extended radially inward to drive against the first of the clamp parts, which in turn will cause the first of the clamp parts to help retain the end of the member in the cavity without having the screw drive directly against the member; and wherein, when the member is inserted in the cavity, the at least one washer and the at least one o-ring encircle the member and wherein the clamp structure helps to retain the at least one washer and the at least one o-ring in the cavity and the o-ring forms a seal between the member and the fitting body; wherein, when the screw is extended radially inward to drive against the first of the clamp parts, which in turn captures the second of the clamp parts via interlocking teeth, the at least one washer and the at least one o-ring are captured by the clamp structure such that the at least one o-ring forms a seal between the member and the fitting body.
