<p>The disclosed invention is an apparatus for connecting two current conducting tubes which also conduct fluids such as, for example, a coolant, The connection apparatus conducts current From one tube to the other through a sleeve, the tubes having a machined external surface against which the sleeve is pressed. A hose receiving hydraulic pressure is disposed between the sleeve and an external casing for providing a removable pressure against the sleeve for clamping the tubes in the sleeve. The present invention may be used in conjunction with a holder assembly for electrodes in an electrothermal smelting furnace.</p> |
