ABSTRACT:
An undersea hydraulic coupling is disclosed having a male member with a tapered, frusta-conical surface and a female member with a tapered, frusta-conical bore. Before radial seals engage the frusta-conical surfaces, trapped seawater is expelled or displaced from the bore through the space between the coupling members, thereby preventing seawater from entering hydraulic lines.
