ABSTRACT:
A snap-ring assembly has a sleeve formed with a bore centered on an axis and having an axially outwardly open end formed with a radially inwardly open groove, a pipe having a collar projecting axially inward into the bore end past the groove, a snap ring seated in the groove and projecting axially into the bore to block outward displacement of the collar, and a seal ring in the bore between the collar and the sleeve. The sleeve is formed at its open end with an axially outwardly open notch extending axially inward generally to the groove so that a tool can be inserted in the groove under the snap ring to remove same from the groove.
