ABSTRACT:
The combination of a first connecting assembly and a second connecting assembly. The first connecting assembly has a) a port with a central axis, a radially outwardly facing surface with threads thereon and axially spaced first and second free ends and b) an axially facing surface. The second connecting assembly has a) a tubular fitting with a central axis, axially spaced first and second ends and threads and b) a sealing assembly with a sealing portion. As an incident of axially moving the first and second connecting assemblies through cooperation of the threads on the first and second connecting assemblies, the sealing portion is deformed radially inwardly to engage sealingly with the outwardly facing surface on the port. A method of operatively connecting a cable to a port utilizes this structure.
