Publication number: 20080036209Abstract: An assembly includes a first member with a reduced lip male gland, and a second member with a female bore configured to receive and mate with the reduced lip male gland. A spring-energized polymeric seal is disposed between the first and second members. The male gland of the first member and the female bore of the second member are configured to help lead-in the first member into engagement with the second member. The aligning function of the assembly helps decrease damaging contact between the spring-energized polymeric seal and a boss face of the second tubular member when the male gland is introduced into the female bore.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2006Publication date: February 14, 2008Applicant: United Technologies CorporationInventor: Richard Joseph Bulkovitch
