A dry break coupling assembly for interconnecting components of a fluid handling system. The coupling assembly includes first and second valves, each includes a rotatable valve element for opening and closing a fluid passageway within a valve body. The over-center clamp mechanism is for interlocking the first and the second valves when the valves are in a connected arrangement, allowing the valves to be easily disconnected when the valves are in a closed position, having a pair of projecting bars disposed on an outer surface of a body of a first valve and a pair of clamp assemblies disposed on a body of the second valve. Each clamp assembly includes a clamp arm having a hook end for engaging one of the projecting bars, and a clamp lever for actuating the hook end to engage or disengage the projecting bar. A yoke assembly is for operatively locking the over-center clamp when the second valve is in an open position, and an automatic locking assembly on each valve for locking the valve into a closed position when they are disconnected.

Method And Apparatus For Coupling A Removable Fluid Conduit To An Existing Fluid Conduit
A clamp member for coupling a removable fluid conduit to a fluid conduit is disclosed. The removable fluid conduit may include a first interactive member for interaction with a second interactive member of the clamp member to couple the removable fluid component to the clamp member. The clamp member may include one or more gripping members to engage an exterior surface of the fluid conduit.
