OceanWorks has developed a flying lead connector design that offers significant improvements in performance and reliability over existing subsea design fabrication and installation attributes. Design features include:
Vertical and horizontal stab configurations accommodate wide range of installation geometries
Improved protection of hydraulic couplers and tubing during installation provides high reliability and repeatability
Improved self alignment enables installation at up to 15° misalignment in any plane
Bayonet type latching mechanism provides high reliability mate and is compatible with any class 4 torque tool
Improved umbilical termination providing up to 15 tons to be transferred through single lift point, thereby simplifying installation procedures
Patented connector design enables easy integration with flying lead umbilical
Accommodates a wide range of hydraulic coupler stab plate configurations
