Seal, assembly, and methods of using the same

An assembly comprising:

• a first fluid component having an axis and a first end;
• a second fluid component having an axis and a second end;
• and
• a seal operatively connecting the first end of the first fluid component to the second end of the second fluid component;
• the seal comprising:
• a first annular body having an inner radius and an outer radius, and a first circumferential end and a second circumferential end defining a first split along the circumference of the first annular body;
• and
• a second annular body having an inner radius and an outer radius, and a first circumferential end and a second circumferential end defining a first split along the circumference of the second annular body, wherein 1) the circumferential split of the first annular body is offset from the circumferential split of the second annular body at an arc distance defined by a central angle C, wherein the central angle C is no less than 15°, such as no less than 30°, such as no less than 45°, such as no less than 60°, or such as no less than 90°;
• or 2) wherein the second annular body comprises an energizer where the energizer is adapted to force the first split of the first annular body to close around a fluid component, wherein the energizer is positioned between the first and second lip of the first annular body and adapted to force the first and second lip apart.
