SELF-SEALING HYDRAULIC CONTROL LINE COUPLING

摘要

There is provided a hydraulic fluid control line connector (40) including first and second couplings (42, 44) configured to automatically seal shut when the members are disengaged. There is further provided a method for blocking contamination or pressure transfer of hydraulic fluid control lines by securing first and second couplings to corresponding ends of a hydraulic line and automatically sealing the couplings shut when the couplings are disengaged.
