Coupling mechanisms for connecting a plurality of pipes are provided. The coupling mechanisms may include a first portion including a first wall having a substantially arcuate cross-sectional shape and defining a first channel, a second portion including a second wall having a substantially arcuate cross-sectional shape and defining a second channel, and a hinge portion connecting together the first portion and the second portion. The first portion and second portion may be configured to pivot about the hinge portion. In an open configuration of a coupling mechanism, the first portion may be laterally adjacent to the second portion. In a closed configuration of a coupling mechanism, the first portion and the second portion may be folded together about the hinge portion to form a first lumen encased by the first wall and the second wall.
