CONDUIT FIXTURE FOR TANK WALL

摘要

The disclosure concerns a two-part tubular fitting for attachment to a wall of a tank, or the like, at a hole through the wall. The first fitting part includes a tube which supports a radially directed wall at one end of the and on the fitting part wall is an axially directed flange for engaging one side of the tank wall. The second fitting part is a ring that receives the first fitting part tube and that engages the opposite side of the tank wall. A plurality of flange like, circular segment plates are circumferentially spaced around the ring. The plates extend over the tube and through the hole in the tank wall and the exterior surfaces of the plates contact the tank wall surrounding the hole. Radially inwardly directed detent hooks at the outward ends of at least some of the plates hook over respective detent walls defined on the tube underneath the axially directed flange. The detent hooks engage the detent walls for connecting the fitting parts together. Posts defined in the radially directed wall of the first fitting part index between adjacent plates and orient the first and second fitting parts.
