Device for connecting a fluid circulating line to a refractory element and refractory element

Device for connecting a fluid circulating line to a refractory element having a surface provided with a cylindrical bore, comprising a gasket intended to be located into the bore and a first supporting element compressing the gasket from the outside of the bore, a second supporting element which can be introduced in the bore to sandwich the gasket together with the first supporting element and a rod able to bring the two supporting elements closer such that the two supporting elements exert an axial pressure on the gasket so as to axially compress the gasket and cause its radial extension against the wall of the bore to ensure a tight connection.

Assembly of a refractory element, for example nozzle or pouring shroud, comprising a cylindrical bore sized to receive two supporting elements and a tightening gasket sandwiched by these supporting elements and a device for connecting a fluid circulating line to a refractory element having a surface provided with a cylindrical bore, comprising a gasket intended to be located into the bore and a first supporting element compressing the gasket from the outside of the bore, a second supporting element which can be introduced in the bore to sandwich the gasket together with the first supporting element and a rod able to bring the two supporting elements closer such that the two supporting elements exert an axial pressure on the gasket so as to axially compress the gasket and cause its radial extension against the wall of the bore to ensure a tight connection.
