ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to an arrangement for interconnecting a first pality of conduits with a second plurality of conduits such as conduits of the kind utilized in nuclear facilities. Maintenance work in large-area hot cells subjected to radioactivity is conducted with remotely-controlled apparatus that is movable within the hot cell. The conduits must be disconnected and connected again with remotely-controlled apparatus. The connection should be completed quickly and effectively. For this purpose, conduit end portions of the conduits which are to be connected are arranged on a fixed supporting bracket. The two sets of conduit end portions which are to be interconnected curve continuously away from the bracket to define an angle of ninety degrees so that the open terminations of the one set of conduits are spaced from the open terminations of the other set of conduits and the axes of the conduit end portions are mutually parallel. A separate connecting block has a plurality of substantially U-shaped conduit segments cast in place therein so as to be one parallel and adjacent to the other. The open terminations of the U-shaped conduit segments of the connecting block face the open terminations of the curved conduit end portions. The connecting block can be drawn tightly to the curved conduit end portions by suitable holding means.
