<p>A subsea stab plate assembly comprises a stab plate (12) which includes a multiplicity of apertures (14) each extending in an axial direction through the plate from a front face (13) of the plate to a rear face (15) of the plate, and a subsea hydraulic coupler for insertion through at least one of the apertures. The coupler has a body (1) with an internal longitudinal passageway including a valve (18) operable to open the passageway on the mating of the coupler with a complementary coupler. The coupler is shaped for insertion through the said one aperture in either of two directions, the body (1) having a circumferential groove (4) and a flange assembly (8,8) comprising an axially extending hub (10) which fits into the groove and a shoulder (9) for abutment against the front face (14) of the plate. The flange assembly comprising a plurality of separable segments (8) each of which constitutes part of the hub and part of the shoulder. The hub fits between the groove and the inside of the aperture.</p> |
