Abstract
A quick-fitting pipe fitting assembly for coupling with at least one pipe element includes a pipe fitting body, at least one coupling unit, at least one gasket and a plurality of connecting elements. Each coupling unit includes a fixed coupling element integrally extended from the pipe fitting body and a movable coupling element, the gasket disposed at the coupling unit, the connecting elements movably connect the fixed coupling element with the movable coupling element, wherein the at least one coupling unit is adapted for being preassembled with the at least one pipe element and can be fastened by at least one fastening element that is capable of being operated to fasten the movable coupling element with the fixed coupling element.
Claims24
A pipe fitting assembly for coupling with at least one pipe element, comprising:
- a pipe fitting body;
- at least one coupling unit comprising a fixed coupling element integrally extended from said pipe fitting body and a movable coupling element;
- at least one gasket disposed at said at least one coupling unit;
- a plurality of connecting elements movably connecting said fixed coupling element with said movable coupling element, such that the at least one pipe element is adapted for being preassembled with the at least one coupling unit, wherein said plurality of connecting elements comprises at least one fastening element that is capable of being operated to fasten said movable coupling element with said fixed coupling element, so as for fastening the at least one pipe element with said at least one coupling unit.
A method for coupling a pipe element via a pipe fitting assembly, comprising a step of receiving a coupling end portion of the pipe element by a coupling unit which comprises a fixed coupling element and a movable coupling element, wherein said fixed coupling element is integrally extended from a pipe fitting body, and said movable coupling element is movably mounted with said fixed coupling element.
A method for coupling a pipe element via a pipe fitting assembly, comprising the following steps:
- (A) inserting a coupling end portion of the pipe element in a coupling unit comprising a fixed coupling element integrally extended from a pipe fitting body and a movable coupling element which is movably connected with said fixed coupling element;
- and
- (B) operating a fastening element to fasten said fixed coupling element with said movable coupling element to retain the coupling end portion of the pipe element in the coupling unit.
