A new fluid coupling assembly includes first and second split connection members positioned over a coupling member or gland of a fluid system. A body member is threadedly received over one end of the split connection members to define a split female nut member. A second threaded region of the body member has a different pitch and hand to facilitate make-up of the coupling assembly and assure that the components are urged together as the fluid components are brought into sealing engagement. A retaining collar is received over the split connection members to define a split male nut member.

In a fluid coupling of the type including first and second members, each member having a longitudinal fluid passage therethrough that terminates in an end face that extends generally perpendicular to the fluid passage, each end face having an annular sealing bead extending therefrom and toward the other end face, a shoulder of a first predetermined diameter on the first member spaced inwardly from the end face and a connection member having an outer body and first and second inner members operatively engaged to and received in the outer body that cooperatively define a shoulder of a second predetermined diameter less than the first predetermined diameter that cooperates with the first member shoulder, and the outer body having a first threaded region for selective threaded engagement with a threaded region operatively associated with the second member, the improvement comprising: the first and second inner members of the connection member being separated from one another along a generally longitudinal axis, the connection member being positioned over the first member in a direction from the end face toward the shoulder and the outer body having a through opening with a diameter greater than the first predetermined dimension of the first member shoulder.
