Abstract
Conduit coupling devices comprise a body configured to be selectively attached to engage an outer surface of a conduit; and an elongate connecting member extending from the body or configured to selectively extend from the body. Systems comprise at least two conduit coupling devices. Methods comprise attaching a first conduit coupling device to a first conduit; attaching a second conduit coupling device to a second conduit; operatively attaching the first conduit coupling device to the second conduit coupling device; translating the first conduit coupling device and the second conduit coupling device toward each other to operatively position the first conduit relative to the second conduit; and clamping the first conduit to the second conduit.
