Sealing interface to adjust radial and angular offset

A sealing interface, comprising,

• a connected component having a first end, a second end, and an internal passageway extending from the first end to the second end, the first end being configured to be connected to a fluid source so that a fluid from the fluid source is guided away from the source through the internal passageway of the connected component, the second end including a convex surface and a flange, the flange having a plurality of holes defined therein;
• a tube having an end with a convex surface and a flange, the flange having a plurality of holes defined therein;
• a spacer disposed between the second end of the connected component and the end of the tube, the spacer including a first side, a second side, and a third side that extends from the first side to the second side, the third side having an outer surface that defines an outer periphery of the spacer, the first side of the spacer having a concave surface that substantially matches the convex surface of the second end of the connected component, the second side of the spacer having a concave surface that substantially matches the convex surface of the end of the tube, and the spacer including a through hole that extends from the first side to the second side, the through hole being in fluid communication with the internal passageway of the connected component and a fluid passageway of the tube;
• and
• a plurality of tying elements respectively coupled to the plurality of holes in the flange of the connected component and the plurality of holes in the flange of the tube, the plurality of tying elements applying a compressive force between the connected component and the spacer, and the plurality of tying elements applying a compressive force between the tube and the spacer.

• a first tube having an end;
• a spacer having a first side, a second side, and a third side that extends from the first side to the second side, the third side having an outer surface that defines an outer periphery of the spacer, the first side of the spacer being attached to the end of the first tube, the second side of the spacer having a concave surface, and the spacer including a through hole that extends from the first side to the second side, the through hole being in fluid communication with a fluid passageway of the first tube;
• a second tube having an end with a convex surface that substantially matches the concave surface of the second side of the spacer, the end of the second tube being disposed in an opposing relationship with the second side of the spacer so that the through hole of the spacer is in fluid communication with a fluid passageway of the second tube;
• a plurality of tying elements respectively coupled to the first tube and the second tube or respectively coupled to the spacer and the second tube, the plurality of tying elements applying a compressive force between the second tube and the spacer.
