Abstract:
The present invention relates to a re-connecting device (1) for connecting and sealing against a damaged existing/remaining tubing (5) in a well bore, a casing string (2) or a pipe, the tubing (5) having smaller diameter than the casing string (2), and for repairing of the tubing (5), comprising an outer body (3) and at least one sealing element (18) arranged therein, the outer body (3) is arranged to enable the entrance of, and surrounding, the end part of the tubing (5) in the well bore, casing string (2) or pipe, and a sealing assembly (8) is arranged in the outer body (3), of the re-connecting device (1), for sealing it against the tubing (5). The invention is achieved by that an internal and axially movable assembly (6) is arranged inside the outer body (3) and comprising at least one of an anchoring assembly (7), the sealing assembly (8) and/or a releaseable locking assembly (9), where the movable assembly (6) and at least one of its anchoring assembly (7), sealing assembly (8) and/or releaseable locking assembly (9) is/are arranged to be activated by applying an axial mechanical/physical stroke to the top of the moveable assembly (6).
