Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9621118A1] The present invention relates to connector assemblies (10, 110) which compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of tubular conduits (12, 112) within the connector assembly (10, 110). The connector assemblies (10, 110) typically include as their main components a tubular conduit (12, 112) which is susceptible to thermal expansion and contraction, a housing (14, 114) which may also be subject to thermal expansion or contraction, elements (16, 116) for internally sealing the connector assembly (10, 110) and a retainer element (18, 118) which locks the terminal end (24, 124) of the tubular conduit (12, 112) within the housing (14, 114). The tubular conduit (12, 112) is provided with radially outwardly extending annular bead (20, 120).
