Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A coupling 10 for coupling pipe segments, comprises a first housing component 12, and a second housing component 14. The first and second housing components have an open configuration and a closed configuration that define a central axis XX of the coupling 10. A fastener 20 couples the first and second components together. The fastener 20 has a first element engaged with the first housing component along a first engagement axis and a second element engaged with the second housing component along a second engagement axis. The first element is coupled to the second element such that the first and second elements of the fastener pivot with respect to one another about a pivot axis PP that is perpendicular to a plane that includes at least one of the first and second engagement axes. The pivot axis PP is parallel to the central axis of the coupling 10 and defines the pivot axis PP about which the first and second housing components 12, 14 pivot relative to one another between the open and closed configuration.The split fastener allows an additional degree of adjustment.
