A coupling includes a male adapter and a female adapter, and may include a nut and a sleeve. In embodiments, the male adapter includes a male adapter inner diameter, and may include threads. A method of operating a fluid coupling may include providing a first member, a second member, a nut, and a sleeve, connecting the sleeve with the nut such that rotation of the sleeve causes rotation of the nut, rotating the sleeve to connect the first member with the second member, engaging an inner ratchet profile of the sleeve with a ratchet profile of a shoulder of the first member, and covering the shoulder of the first member, including the ratchet profile, with the sleeve.

Fluid couplings, systems, and methods

A coupling includes a male adapter and a female adapter, and may include a nut and a sleeve. In embodiments, the male adapter includes a male adapter inner diameter, and may include threads. The female adapter includes a female adapter outer diameter. The nut or other formation may be configured to engage at least a portion of the male adapter. In embodiments, one or more contact points may be provided between the female diameter outer diameter and the male adapter inner diameter, and the female adapter outer diameter or the male adapter inner diameter may be configured to be out-of-round. The male adapter may include a shoulder and the sleeve may cover the shoulder in connected configuration. Methods for forming a coupling are also disclosed.

A fitting () for fluid communication with a fluid conduit includes a first fluid conduit connection portion (), a second fluid conduit connection portion ('), a header () disposed axially between the first fluid conduit connection portion and the second fluid conduit connection portion, and a socket (). A fluid fitting may include a nipple (), a radial projection () connected to the nipple, and an axial protrusion () extending from the radial projection. The axial protrusion may be configured to protrude into an axial end of a fluid conduit (). A fluid fitting may include a fluid conduit connection portion () and a dynamic tip () connected to an end of the fluid conduit connection portion. The dynamic tip may be configured to expand in response to an increase in fluid pressure.
