ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a sealed coupling between two bodies each body presenting an abutment surface. The respective bodies are arranged so that their respective abutment surfaces are axially adjacent one another, defining a space therebetween in which a deformable gasket is disposed. An axial external force is applied to the bodies for compressing the abutment surfaces together against the gasket to form a seal between the bodies. The bodies are immobilized relative to one another while the external force is being applied to the bodies so that sufficient compression will be maintained by the abutment surfaces to preserve the integrity of the seal when the external axial force is withdrawn. The external axial force is then withdrawn, leaving the two bodies coupled together via the seal.
