Push seal pipe adapter
A push seal pipe adapter includes a grommet and a pipe adapter. The grommet fits inside the pipe adapter. The grommet includes a first adapter contact surface, a second adapter contact surface, and a third adapter contact surface. The pipe adapter includes a first grommet contact surface, a second grommet contact surface, and a third grommet contact surface. When the grommet is inserted into the pipe adapter, the first adapter contact surface of the grommet contacts the first grommet contact surface of the pipe adapter and the second adapter contact surface of the grommet contacts the second grommet contact surface of the pipe adapter. The push seal pipe adapter provides a pipe coupling end that receives a pipe. To couple, the pipe is pushed into the pipe coupling end.

Hose Bib System
A hose bib system includes a PEX plumbing line that may deliver a fluid. An adapter is provided and the adapter may be coupled to a vertical support surface. The adapter penetrates the vertical support surface. The PEX plumbing line is fluidly coupled to the adapter. A hose bib may be fluidly coupled to the adapter. Thus, the PEX plumbing line may deliver the fluid to the hose bib.
Plumbing supply line mounting and finish panel assembly
A plumbing finish panel assembly, for connecting a water supply line in a wall to fixture supply lines, comprises a mounting panel having a supply line opening formed therethrough and a finish ring for presenting a clean finished appearance to the assembly. A supply line connector assembly is securable to the mounting panel through the supply line opening and enables selective orientation of a tailpiece for connection to the supply line. An outlet end of the supply line connector assembly provides a threaded coupling to which a valve or hose may be coupled. The panel assembly may be provided in plate or box configuration.

Method and system for furnace sealing
The present invention relates generally to furnace systems and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a split-ring assembly for sealing a junction between a catalyst tube and a furnace. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a ring-seal assembly. The ring-seal assembly includes a housing ring coupled to an outer surface of a furnace. The housing ring is disposed around a circumference of a tube proximate a junction with the furnace. The ring seal assembly further includes a brush seal that is at least partially disposed within the housing ring. The brush seal is disposed around the circumference of the tube. A plurality of brushes extend radially inwardly from the brush seal towards the tube.

System for sealingly holding cables which extend through an opening
The invention relates to a system for sealingly holding cables through an opening. The system comprises a holder substantially in the form of a plate having a central portion with a first thickness between a first side and a second side of the plate and a peripheral portion with a second thickness which is smaller than the first thickness, the holder having in the central portion a plurality of conduits extending in the thickness direction of the plate, each conduit being suitable for having one or more cables extending there through, at least one multi-part sealing plug of an elastic material for sealing an annular space between an inner wall of one of the conduits and a cable extending there through and a gasket of an elastic material and of a shape for placement against the peripheral portion so as to provide a sealing in a circumferential direction of the plate. The plug has at least one circumferentially extending outer rib and at least one circumferentially extending inner rib. In an uninserted state, the following conditions apply: the outer rib has a sawtooth shape for easy insertion, the sawtooth is provided with an angled inward bend for facilitating flexing of the sawtooth in a transverse direction, the inner rib has a top surface extending in circumferential and longitudinal direction for facilitating sliding along the cable, and an imaginary straight line extending in a transverse direction coincides with a pivotal point of the angled bend and intersects the top surface.
