ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses an improved removable closure assembly (28) for use in feedwater heaters or other pressure vessels requiring periodic internal access thereto for service, etc. The closure assembly (28) includes an o-ring seal (54) seated in a groove (58) chamfered into the outer edge of one end of a cylindrical cover (30) disposed in the open end of the channel or casing (12) of the pressure vessel. A compression ring (56) is disposed between the cover (30) and a split retaining ring (36). The compression ring (56) overlies the o-ring (54) and a portion of the cover (30) so that only a portion of the compression force is transmitted through the o-ring, whereby an effective seal is provided without undue deformation such that the closure assembly (28) can be readily disassembled and removed, if desired.
