ABSTRACT:
An outlet plate fitting configured for attaching a secondary component to a fluid pipe section. The fluid pipe section includes opposed flanges that define a receiving groove having a bottom surface. The outlet plate fitting includes a main body, an engagement platform connected to and at a distance from the main body, and a bore extending through the main body and the engagement platform. A first surface of the engagement platform faces away from the main body and is a planar surface with a seal member positioned about the bore. A second surface of the engagement platform faces toward the main body and has a ramped surface, such that rotation of the engagement platform in a first direction within the receiving groove causes the planar surface and seal member into sealing engagement with the bottom surface of the receiving groove.
