A coupling apparatus that is attachable to a substantially tubular element having a passageway extending therethrough. The coupling apparatus has a coupling body and at least one adapter. The coupling body has a passageway extending therethrough and at least one leg having at least one annular groove. The adapter has a passageway extending therethrough and a radially extending inward portion for engaging the annular groove on the leg of the coupling body for connecting the adapter to the coupling body. The adapter is connectable to the tubular element for forming a continuous passageway through the coupling apparatus.

Configurable coupling apparatus for tubular elements

A push to connect fitting which includes a body portion and a tubular collet at least partially disposed within the body portion, wherein a section of tubing is receivable within the collet. A thread is formed on an inner periphery of the collet, wherein each turn of the thread provides two points of engagement along the longitudinal dimension of the section of tubing.

Push to connect fitting with formed gripper teeth

An air distribution apparatus for directing at least two different air pressure supply sources to fill and exhaust at least a first volume of air and a second volume of air. The apparatus includes a housing and a valve assembly that is disposed within the housing. The valve assembly is movable between a first position, wherein a non-regulated air input port is in communication with a first volume of air to inflate the first volume of air while an exhaust port is in communication with a second volume of air to exhaust the second volume of air, and a second position, wherein a regulated air input port is in communication with the second volume of air to inflate the second volume of air while the first volume of air is in communication with the second volume of air to exhaust air from the first volume of air to the second volume of air.
