1. A connector ring assembly comprising:

  • an annular wall defining a first opening adapted to receive a conduit, the first opening having an opening axis;

    a clamp having a body and a first arm and a second arm coupled to each other by the body, the first arm and the second arm defining a distance therebetween extending away from body and entirely along the first arm and the second arm, the clamp engaging the annular wall and defining a second opening co-axial with the first opening, the clamp operably configured to rotate relative to the annular wall in a first state and remain fixed relative to the annular wall in a second state, and the distance between the first arm and second arm in the first state being greater than the distance between the first arm and second arm in the second state;

    an actuator disposed substantially parallel with respect to the annular wall and the clamp, the actuator adapted to transition the clamp between the first state and the second state; and

    an actuator receiver defining an actuator opening including the actuator disposed therein, the actuator opening having an actuator axis generally parallel to the opening axis.
