ABSTRACT:
An externally testable redundant connection for a subsea well includes a tube, a connector assembly, and collar. The connector assembly includes a jam nut over the tube; a ferrule over the tube adjacent the jam nut; and a double jam nut disposed over the tube adjacent to the ferrule. The double jam nut includes a test port adapted to receive a test fluid through the test port for determining if the primary seal and the secondary seal are providing a leak proof sealing engagement. The collar engage the tube and transfers an axial force from the double jam nut and compresses the tube into a female profile forming a primary seal. A secondary seal is formed from a compression of the ferrule into the double jam nut using the jam nut.
