A coupling used to connect structural tubing includes segments surrounding a central space which receives the tubing. Teeth on an inner surface of the segments project toward the central space and form zones of deformation in the tubing upon engagement with the tubes' outer surfaces. Ends of the tubing abut one or more tongues on the inner surface, and observation apertures in the segments permit visual confirmation that the tubing is seated. Relief pockets on the inner surfaces of the segments receive portions of the tubing which deform outwardly. An insert may be present in the central space. The insert defines a space between itself and the inner surfaces of the segments which receives the tubing. The insert has relief channels which receive deformed regions of the tubing corresponding to the zones of deformation. 用来连接结构管件的联接件包括围绕中央空间的节段，该中央空间接收管件。在节段的内表面上的齿部朝向中央空间突伸，并且在与管的外表面接合时在管件中形成变形区域。管件的端部邻接在内表面上的一个或多个舌部，并且节段中的观察孔准许了管件就坐的视觉确认。节段的内表面上的释放凹处接收管件的向外变形的部分。插入件可出现在中央空间中。该插入件限定了在它本身与节段的内表面之间的空间，该空间接收管件。该插入件具
