Abstract
Various embodiments include an adapter between two connectors and a coaxial coupling or a coaxial nipple. The two connectors are any combination of a separate coupling and a separate nipple. The adapter may include: a body with two cylindrical openings; a first element that fits in the first opening with connections for a first of the two connectors and the coaxial coupling or nipple; and a second element that fits in the second cylindrical opening, and a third connection for the other connector. The first element slides and rotates in the body and has a central axis eccentric to a central axis of the cylindrical first element part. The second element slides and rotates in the body. The central axis of the third connection is eccentric to a central axis of the cylindrical second element part.
