Abstract
The present invention is directed to a bulkhead mounting assembly comprising a bulkhead-securing flange on an integral body having a large diameter externally threaded portion and a small diameter externally threaded portion with the large diameter externally threaded portion engaging a bulkhead-securing nut of sufficient diameter so as to pass over the small diameter externally threaded portion and an outer coaxial conduit-securing nut engaging the small diameter-threaded portion and preferably any cap placed on an inner coaxial conduit such as used to secure ultra high purity conditions within the inner coaxial conduit.
Claims20
A bulkhead mounting assembly for securing at least two coaxial conduits passing into a bulkhead, comprising;
- (a) an integral body having a large diameter externally threaded portion and a small diameter externally threaded portion on a single side of said body from where said body is affixed to a bulkhead, a bulkhead-securing flange on the opposite side of said body from where said body is affixed to a bulkhead, and an axial passage through said body to accept coaxially aligned conduits, wherein said large diameter portion is at least greater in diameter than an outer conduit-securing nut engaging said smaller diameter portion;
- (b) a bulkhead-securing nut that engages said large diameter threaded portion, and
- (c) an outer conduit-securing nut that engages the small diameter threaded portion, said outer conduit-securing nut having a compression seal engaging flange to compress a seal on an outer conduit of coaxial conduits passing into said bulkhead mounting assembly;
- (d) a third externally threaded portion on said integral body on the same side of said body as said bulkhead securing flange;
- (e) an inner conduit-securing nut that engages the third threaded portion, said inner conduit-securing nut having a compression seal engaging flange to compress a seal on an inner conduit of coaxial conduits passing into said bulkhead mounting assembly.
