A system for sealed venting of a compartment includes a sealing member having a first body portion and a second body portion, an inner sealing member surface defining a central passage passing longitudinally from a first terminal end of the sealing member to a second terminal end of the sealing member, an outer sealing member surface defining an outer circumference of the sealing member, a sealing flange extending radially outward from the outer sealing member surface, and a channel including at least one stop surface. A securing member having a securing flange engages with the second body portion. The channel engages with the aperture defined in the body when the sealing member is inserted into and rotated in the aperture and the sealing flange and the securing flange seal the sealing member to the inner and outer surfaces of the body.

A spreader structure for a ring seal for sealing an annular gap, includes a radially inner first component with an inner contact surface, a radially outer second component with an outer contact surface, and a first spreading mechanism formed between these two components that includes a first spreading bevel formed on one of the two components, and a first spreading element formed on the other component, that can be moved along the first spreading bevel. The two components can be displaced in relation to one another, from an assembly state to a spreading state, by means of which the first spreading element is moved from a first section of the first spreading bevel to a second section of the spreading bevel, enlarging a radial spacing between the inner contact surface and the outer contact surface. The spreader structure has a second spreading mechanism.

The invention is a tapping assembly for use on a pipe or tank. It includes a hollow body that sits flush on the outer wall of the pipe or tank and includes a plurality of locking members that sit flush within the body and form a threaded portion into which a cap is insertable. Each locking member extends into the interior of the pipe or tank, and has an outwardly extending flanged portion that engages with the inner sidewall of the pipe or tank. When the cap is tightened against the body, it causes each of the locking member to retract, thereby causing the respective flange portions to lock the assembly against the pipe or tank wall. The assembly can be manufactured to provide either an orthogonal tap, or an angled tap, relative to the longitudinal axis of the pipe, or plane of the tank sidewall.

A hydraulic component includes a component housing and a connection block. The component housing has an outer surface and an axial bore. At least one connecting channel extends from the outer surface to the axial bore. The connection block has a housing side with at least one connection bore, where the connection bore is in fluidic connection with the at least one connection channel. The outer surface of the component housing has a non-planar shape at least in the area of the at least one connecting channel, where at least one connecting bushing with a through hole is received in the at least one connecting channel and extends into the at least one connecting bore.

The present disclosure relates to a method and device for tapping into a vessel, typically to recover fuel or cargo oil from sunken ships but may be applicable to other situations involving transfer of fluids from places that are inhospitable to humans. A remotely operable hot tap installation tool has a releasable securing and stabilising arrangement; a hot tap assembly holder; at least one first drive mechanism configured to apply torque to studs at a plurality of attachment stud locations to securely fasten the hot tap assembly to the vessel; a second drive mechanism configured to apply torque to a hole-drilling assembly to cut a hole into the fluid vessel wall; and an indexing mechanism configured to move the first drive mechanism between multiple attachment stud locations.

An elastomeric press-in-place swivel fitting adaptor and a swivel fitting assembly using the adaptor are disclosed herein. The swivel fitting assembly includes retention and sealing features that allow it to be installed in a threaded port by hand. It is suitable for use in a variety of low pressure fluid passage and venting applications.

An assembly for sealing an interface between a conduit and a case includes a boot and a bushing. The boot includes a tube and rubber flange. The rubber flange extends generally radially outward from the tube. The rubber flange includes an opening passing through a portion of the rubber flange. The bushing is disposed in the rubber flange and includes a tubular body, a channel, and a lip. The tubular body is disposed in the opening of the rubber flange. The channel extends through a center of the body. The lip is generally flat and extends radially outward from the tubular body. The lip is in contact and engages with the rubber flange so as to compress the rubber flange against the case.

Wall feed-through element for a fluid line that includes a housing having a feed-through region running in an axial direction with at least one attachment geometry and a stop. The feed-through region is structured with a bearing section and the connection geometry, on a side of the bearing section facing away from the stop at least one, includes at least one shaping protruding radially over the bearing section with a back wall facing the stop and at least one radially springable projection that is offset in a circumferential direction with respect to the shaping and extends toward the stop in an axial direction and beyond the back wall.

At least one reinforcement tube for stabilizing a housing within an automobile transmission casing. The reinforcement tube includes a first portion having a first diameter and having a first interior recess, a second portion having a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter, and a second interior recess, the first and second portions separated by a shoulder, a first seal disposed within the first interior recess of the first portion and situated proximate the shoulder separating the first and second portions, and a second seal separate from the first seal and situated proximate a distal end of the second portion.
