Abstract

A fluid transport coupling subcomponent can include a body having a first axial end with a first axial face, a second axial end, and a hollow conduit extending between the first and second axial ends, a tongue extending longitudinally from the first axial face; and a groove recessed into the first axial face. The tongue can extend a distance, DT1, from the first axial face and the groove can extend a distance, DG1, into the body from the planar face, where DG1 and DT1 can be different.
