Zusammenfassung:A fluid coupling (10) comprising: first and second semi-cylindrical elements cooperating to form a cylindrical coupling (10), the first and second semi-cylindrical elements formed of a non-metallic material; first and second hinge (24) elements integrally formed on respective said first and second semi-cylindrical elements for establishing a pivoting of the first and second semi-cylindrical elements to open and close the coupling (10); a latch (26) releasably connecting the first and second semi-cylindrical elements;a pin (48) passing through the first and second hinge (24) elements;a non-metallic sealing sleeve (54) positioned adjacent the ferrule adapter (16) of each fluid pipe to seal the coupling (10); and an electrically conducting bonding mechanism (28) formed on the coupling (10) and adapted to make electrical contact with a first and second fluid pipes when the coupling (10) is a closed position to conduct electricity from the first fluid pipe to the second fluid pipe.
