<p>A hydraulic connector for use in underwater applications. The connector comprises a plug component (3) and receptacle component (1), wherein at least one of the components comprises a hydraulic wand (2) having ports (4) associated therewith, such that, when the plug component (3) is inserted into a receptacle component (1), the ports (4) are connected from a watertight hydraulic flow path through both components. The connector further comprises a wiper (10) surrounding one of the hydraulic wands (2), the wiper (10) having a first surface in contact with the hydraulic wand (2) and the second surface with a continuously increasing radius arranged, in use, to direct debris away from the hydraulic flow path as the plug component (3) is inserted in the receptacle component (1). The connector may further comprise at least one scraper ring (12) positioned around the wand (2) and inside an outer housing on the receptacle component (1).</p> |
