Abstract
A single use wall pass-through system having a fixed wall part attached through an opening in a wall and connected by at least one mounting flange. The fixed wall part includes clamping flanges used to provide a sealed connection between the fixed wall part and the hose or tube which carries the material from an outside area into another area defined on the inside of the wall. A combination gasket and clamp plate formed as one piece connects to the clamping flange via a clamping ring. The transfer hose and the combination gasket and clamp plate are preferably disposable.
Claims12
A single use wall pass-through system, comprising
- a tube assembly that is attachable through an opening in a wall, including a tubular body,
- a clamping flange connected to each end of the tubular body,
- a hose or tube is arranged through the tubular body and passes through a hose opening in a one-piece isolating gasket and end cap,
- a clamp ring that clamps the one-piece isolating gasket and end cap to one of the clamping flanges, and
- the tube or hose and the one-piece isolating gasket and end cap are single use.
A single use wall pass-through system, comprising
- a tube assembly that is attachable through an opening in a wall, including a tubular body,
- the tube assembly includes a clamping flange connected to each end of the tubular body,
- a hose or tube is arranged through the tubular body and passes through a hose opening in a gasket,
- a clamp ring that clamps the gasket between one of the clamping flanges and a clamp plate,
- the clamp plate is provided as two clamp plate pieces that are aligned together about a dividing line to form the clamp plate, and a clamp plate hose opening for the hose or tube intersects the dividing line and is at least 60% of a clear cross-section diameter of the tubular body, and
- the tube or hose and the gasket are single use.
A conversion kit for a single use wall pass-through system, comprising:
- an adaptor having a tubular body;
- an attachment flange that is configured to mate with a flange of an existing wall pass-through portal located on a first end of the tubular body;
- a clamping flange adapted for use with a single use wall pass-through system located on a second end of the tubular body;
- a gasket for sealing the attachment flange;
- and
- a clamp that is configured to engage the attachment flange and the flange of the existing wall pass-through portal.
