A device for connecting a tube end section includes a tubular body defining a channel provided with a retainer including a hooking element for engaging an outer surface of the tube end section and an annular seal for gripping the outer surface of the tube end section. The device includes at least a first arm having an end arranged in the channel to be actuated by the tube end section downstream of the retainer to make a portion of the arm a connection control that which is detectable from outside the body.

Connecting device with connection indicator

Connection equipment for a fluid transport circuit, the equipment comprising both a connection device () and also a disconnection tool () for disconnecting the device, the connection device comprising a tubular body () having at least one end segment () in which a tubular insert () is engaged in leaktight and removable manner, the insert being for connection to a duct (T) and including an external projection () extending into a housing of the body, the body including at least one a retaining tab () that is elastically deformable between a projecting position in which it projects into the housing, and a retracted position. The tool has two lifting ramps () and the body has two transverse passages () opening out both to the outside of the body and also into the housing on either side of the retaining tab in order to enable the lifting ramps to be inserted into the housing under the sides of the retaining tab () in order to bring the retaining tab into its retracted position and allow the tubular insert to be extracted.

Equipment for connecting fluid conveying pipes

A ball coupler having a longitudinal axis and including a male tubular endpiece; a female tubular endpiece; and a tubular sleeve extending the female endpiece and presenting slots for forming a cage for retaining balls for blocking the male endpiece in the female endpiece. A grip is coaxial about the sleeve and mounted to turn about the longitudinal axis of the coupler between at least two angular positions relative to the sleeve, the grip having a housing for each ball. A resilient return device urges the grip into its first position, including in the grip, a ring that is constrained to turn with the grip and that is movable axially relative thereto.
