US 2017/0370691 A1 · CONNECTION VERIFICATION TOOL

Abstract

A connection verification tool for verifying a secure connection between two fluid handling components of a fluid handling system. A connection verification tool can include a gauge portion sized sized to be placed over a first fluid handling component connected to a second fluid handling component to verify a secure connection between the two components. If the first fluid handling component is not securely connected to the second fluid handling component such that additional torque may be required to complete the connection between the two components, the gauge portion of the connection verification tool will not fit over the first component coupled to the second component.

Dependent claims

A tool comprising:

a gauge portion including a first arm, a second arm and a cross member extending between the first arm and the second arm and having a width dimensioned to correspond to a dimension of a fitting member coupled to a fitting body, such that when the fitting member is properly coupled to the fitting body the gauge portion fits over the fitting member connected to the second fitting member.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
