WATER DRAINAGE ARRANGEMENT FOR A VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a water drain arrangement for a body of a vehicle. The water drain arrangement includes a drain channel, a tubular feed-through device extending through a first opening of a first wall panel of the body and a second opening of a second wall panel of the body. The water drain arrangement includes a body shell-fixed sleeve extending through the first shell opening of the first wall panel and is coupled to the first wall panel in a fluid-tight manner. A first end of the feed-through device is inserted through a first end of the body shell-fixed sleeve and includes a drain extending through a second end of the feed-through device. A free end of the drain channel is held in a fluid-tight manner in a seat of the feed-through device, which is disposed at a second end of the feed-through device.

Grommet assembly and method of installing a grommet assembly
Grommet assembly and method for installing a grommet assembly in a penetration hole of a panel. In one embodiment, a grommet assembly is comprised of multiple parts, including end members having a diameter greater than the penetration hole, and a middle member having a diameter sized to fit within the penetration hole. Each of the members includes one or more conduit holes for a conduit that is routed through the penetration hole, and an installation slit disposed between an outer peripheral surface and a conduit hole.

Tank retro-fitting collar with square O-rings
A collar for use on a water filtration tank adapter. The collar is formed as a ring adapted to thread onto the tank connection end of the adapter and abut the nut portion between the tank connection end and the pipe end of adapter. An o-ring, square in cross-section, is disposed on a top surface of the collar, offset medially towards the center. This top o-ring is adapted to abut the nut portion of the adapter. Another o-ring, square in cross-section, is disposed on the bottom surface, offset medially away from the center. This bottom o-ring is adapted to abut the tank head upon use. Accordingly, a water-tight seal is formed at the tank connection end and tank head, the collar functioning as both a positive stop and as a substitute for pipe tape.

SIDE WALL SEAL FOR PIPING
There is disclosed a side wall seal for piping comprising an annular ring adapted to be attached to a building sidewall, an annular wall extending outwardly from said annular ring and having a seam in said annular wall, a first ear extending outwardly from the annular wall adjacent a first side of the seam and a second ear extending outwardly from the annular wall adjacent a second side of the seam, and a closure mechanism for closing the seam around said piping. A wedge member may be used with the side wall seal to angle the piping downward.
DROP IN FIRE STOP ASSEMBLY
A concrete floor has a pipe passing through a hole in the floor. A drop-in fire stop assembly has a clam-shell configuration having first and second portions of a fire ring, split cage, split retainer ring, split intumescent ring, split inner smoke ring and split outer smoke ring each fastened together to rotate about a hinge on the split cage to open and close. The first and second portions have free ends that spread apart to fit around the tube in an open position, and close around the tube in a closed position. A latch on the free ends of the cage hold the two portions together in the closed position.

BULKHEAD FITTING DEVICE ENABLING SLIGHT RELATIVE MOVEMENTS AND THE ABSORPTION OF FORCES BETWEEN A CONDUIT AND A WALL, AND INSTALLATION INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE SUCH BULKHEAD FITTING DEVICE
A bulkhead fitting device configured to sealingly link a conduit and a wall traversed by the conduit. This bulkhead fitting device includes a first ring sealingly linked to the conduit, a second ring having a flat, ring-shaped sealing face configured to be pressed against a contact face of the wall or of an intermediate part linked to the wall, an elastically deformable intermediate annular portion sealingly linking the first and second rings, a holding system configured to press the sealing face against the contact face. This bulkhead fitting device guarantees an optimum seal while enabling the absorption of forces and slight relative movements between the conduit and the wall. The device also helps to limit the propagation of vibration.
