Abstract:
An end seal assembly configured to seal with a pipe. The seal assembly may include a cylindrical finned insert including an insert portion to be received in the pipe and a base portion at least partially facing the end face of the pipe, the insert portion having at least one annular fin extending radially outwardly, a pocket being formed between the at least one annular fin and the base portion, the at least one annular fin being deformable against the inner surface of the pipe; and a malleable annular end seal positioned near the pocket, the end seal being axially compressed between the base portion and the end face of the pipe and flowing around the end face to the inner surface of the pipe and into the pocket to inhibit fluid from passing from the inner surface of the pipe to the end face of the pipe.
