Bruce Systems Metal Shell Series is a Dry Mate underwater connector designed for underwater applications, but it must be connected and disconnected in a dry environment before being submerged. Once mated on the surface, it provides a reliable, sealed connection for long-term underwater use, making it suitable for permanent installations like subsea oil and gas infrastructure or research stations up to 6000 msw for SS Connectors Line. In contrast, a wet mate connector can be connected and disconnected while submerged.
Read MoreOur line of connectors can be used for installation on dry and/or oil-compensated PODs. This means that back pressure can be applied to the connectors when they are installed on an oil-compensated POD.
If the intended use is oil-filled PODs, bulckhead connectors must be provided with a dedicated compensation cap when not connected to cable connectors. This is to avoid high differential pressure on the insert, which can cause damage to the insert and possibly lead to leaks from the pod into the environment.
In a situation with an open face panel due to a forgotten cable connection or damage to the seal between the panel connector and the flying lead connector, the panel connector is designed to structurally withstand pressure but not to guarantee that the pins will not leak. If the customer wishes to have a guarantee of the seal of the Dry-Mate connector in an open face condition, we can provide dedicated solutions on a case-by-case basis according to the project specifications.
