Abstract
A pipe for simultaneously retaining a first pipe to a first port and a second pipe to a second port includes a first yoke for receiving the first pipe and the first port to retain the first pipe to the first port; a second yoke for receiving the second pipe and the second port to retain the second pipe to the second port; and a hinge joining the first yoke to the second yoke such that the hinge allows the first yoke to pivot relative to the second yoke about a hinge axis between 1) a disassembled position which allows removal of the pipe retainer from the first pipe, the first port, the second pipe, and the second port and 2) an assembled position which prevents removal of the pipe retainer from the first pipe, the first port, the second pipe, and the second port.
