Self-Sealing Purge Ports

Model PP-129, PP-101

Patented self-sealing purge ports for end caps (PP-129) and glass spheres (PP-101), used for moisture removal and vacuum leak testing.

Description

Global Ocean Design's patented self-sealing Purge Ports are used with the Deck Purge Box to remove moisture from subsea housings and perform a vacuum leak test. When the Purge System Connector is removed, an internal check valve closes, sealing the partial vacuum inside the housing and giving time to clean, inspect and install the final o-ring.

Key features

  • Purge Port for End Caps (PP-129): small footprint, easy to install; requires a Pressure Proof Cap
  • Purge Port for Glass Spheres (PP-101): includes the Titanium Pressure Proof Cap (PP-103-Ti); individually pressure tested with certification and serialized
  • Pressure Proof Caps (PP-103) in 6061-T6 aluminum black anodize, Titanium 6-4, 316 stainless steel and black or white Delrin, to match the housing and reduce galvanic corrosion
  • Low-profile aluminum cap (PP-203), individually pressure tested to 900 psi
  • Purge System Connector (PP-127) lets users connect their own vacuum purge system
