Concepts and technologies disclosed herein for duct fittings. According to various embodiments disclosed herein, duct fittings can be formed or assembled from two or more components including a collar and a clamp. The clamp and the collar can be assembled and/or mated together to form the duct fittings. The collar can have a first annular portion to which a first layer of a multilayered duct is attached or connected. The collar also can include a second annular portion that can include splines to which a second layer of the multilayered duct is attached. The splines can accommodate or form fluid passageways. The clamp can be located on top of the second layer and can include attachment mechanisms securing the clamp to a support surface.

A method comprises securing a first component of a lockable adjustment assembly to an end A of a first rigid tube via a first releasable coupling assembly. The method also comprises securing a second component of the lockable adjustment assembly to an end C of a second rigid tube via a second releasable coupling assembly. Further, the method comprises moving the first component and the second component, loosely coupled with each other, relative to each other with only three degrees of freedom to position the first rigid tube and the second rigid tube in a selected orientation with respect to each other. The method also comprises, with the first rigid tube and the second rigid tube in the selected orientation relative to each other, locking the lockable adjustment assembly so that the first component and the second component have zero degrees of freedom relative to each other.

A tube assembly comprising first and second tubes connected by means of fittings welded to ends of the respective tubes. The fittings are placed adjacent to each other and then coupled using a clamp, thereby placing the first and second tubes in fluid communication. At least one of the fittings is an orifice fitting configured to restrict the flow of fluid. Each fitting is configured with at least one projection that assists a clamp to hold the fittings together. Preferably the projections are annular. In some embodiments, the orifice fitting comprises a cylindrical wall and a plate extending radially inward from the cylindrical wall and having a circular orifice. The orifice has a radius less than the inner radius of the tube assembly, so that flow will be restricted by the orifice.

A modeling assembly () for layout of rigid tubing comprises a first releasable coupling assembly () and a second releasable coupling assembly (). The modeling assembly () also comprises a lockable adjustment assembly () comprising a first component () and a second component (). The first component () is configured to be removably coupled to an end A of a first rigid tube () via the first releasable coupling assembly (). The second component () is configured to he removably coupled to an end C of a second rigid tube () via the second releasable coupling assembly (). With the lockable adjustment assembly () in the loose coupled state, the first component () and the second component () have only three degrees of freedom relative to each other. With the lockable adjustment assembly () in the locked coupled state, the first component () and the second component () have zero degrees of freedom relative to each other.
