ABSTRACT:
A two member control connector for joining multiple hydraulic control conduits (20) has one member (14) attached to the underwater equipment. The other member (10) is raisable to the water surface and also carries annular seal assemblies (24) around the mating ends of the conduits (20). The seal assemblies are each retained in a dove-tail groove (26). A vent passageway (42) is also provided in either the seal or the member (10) to prevent the occurance of differential pressure under the assembly, possibly resulting in seal loss.
