Date Apr. 6, 1989.A connector for use in connecting and disconnecting fluid carrying conduits, for example in an offshore installation, is of the "plug and socket" type, which comprises cooperating parts in the form of a female part (10) to be mounted for example to a subsea module and a complementary male part (11) over which the female part (10) fits. Each of the female and male parts are provided with a plurality of bores (12) and (13) respectively; with the bores (13) being for connection to fluid carrying conduits. Tapered cylindrical sleeves (14) and (15) are provided on the female and male parts respectively and have respective ports (16) and (17) for intercommunicating respective ones of the bores (12) and (13) as shown in (right-hand side as illustrated) to permit fluid flow through the communicated bores and thus through the connector, and for discommunicating the bores (12) and (13) to stop fluid flow through the bores (12) and (13) and thus through the connector (left-hand side as illustrated), in which position the two parts (10, 11) can be disconnected.</p> |
