ABSTRACT:
A double booted flexible entry boot provides a fluid-tight fitting between a wall of a fluid containment region and a conduit passing through the wall. An inner seal member is disposed within the containment region, the inner seal member having a substantially planar seal portion and an integral first hollow support sleeve concentric with the seal portion and extending axially into the containment region. A mechanism is provided for rigidifying the seal portion of the inner seal member. A mechanism releasably attaches the first hollow support sleeve to the conduit. An outer seal member is disposed outside of the containment region, the outer seal member having a substantially planar seal portion and an integral second hollow support sleeve concentric with the seal portion and extending axially away from the containment region. A mechanism is provided for rigidifying the seal portion of the outer seal member. The first and second support sleeves have a degree of flexibility sufficient to allow for the insertion of the conduit at angles not necessarily normal to the fluid containment wall. A mechanism releasably attaches the second hollow support sleeve to the conduit. A mechanism, carried by the rigidified seal portion of the outer seal member and adapted to extend axially through the wall and the rigidified seal portion of the inner seal member, releasably attaches the inner seal member to the wall of the containment region. The inner seal member may be repaired or replaced without substantial outside fluid invading the containment region.
