ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a stuffing tube for the decks and bulkheads of ships, which includes a tubular body having portions of two diameters interconnected by a tapered shoulder. An adapter having a tapered portion complementary to that of the tubular body fits inside, the adapter having a short cylindrical section dimensioned to fit over the cable. A seal comprising a strip of resilient material with an annealed wire core is wrapped around the cable and one end of it is engaged within the tapered adapter. The opposite end is engaged by a flat washer which has an inside diameter comparable to that of the cylindrical section of the adapter. A gland nut compresses the seal, pressing inwardly on the flat washer. Different cable sizes are accommodated within a single tubular body by varying the dimensions of the adapter, seal and flat washer.
