A conduit coupling includes generally cylindrical female, internal and male pieces wherein the female piece has an inner tapered shoulder at an angle and the internal piece has a tapered collar formed at a complimentary angle to the angle for disposal adjacent to the shoulder and an end tapered at another angle and the male piece has a tapered end formed at an angle complimentary to the another angle for disposal adjacent the tapered end of the internal piece.

Conduit coupling

A fuel shroud system has a chamber for draining leaked fuel. The chamber is partly defined by a drain can and a sealing ferrule having a spherical sealing ferrule/drain can interface. The spherical interface allows rotation of the drain can relative to the sealing ferrule about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ferrule, thereby facilitating installation of the drain can. The sealing ferrule also includes an anti-torquing nut to enable the sealing ferrule to be held rigid while the swivel nut is being torqued, thereby preventing torsional static preloads from being applied to the piping system during installation.
