A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A fluid conduit connection arrangement 72 suitable for faucets, radiator inlets, hot tub jets and shower inlets. The connection arrangement has a body section 16. The body section comprises an inner core section 76 extending from the body section. The inner core section has an axial bore (24 figure 15). An outer expandable member 30 is arranged coaxial with the inner core section and external thereof. A first end 32 of the expandable member is proximal the body section and a second end 34 of the expandable member is distal the body section. An end element 36 is positioned adjacent the distal side of the expandable member and an actuation mechanism 82 is provided that can draw the end element towards the body section to axially compress the expandable member, resulting in radial expansion of the expandable member.
