An entry fitting having a cylindrical portion (36) and a conical portion (40) including a seal disposed about the body of the entry fitting. An axial displacement member (16) urges the seal along the conical portion to achieve a relatively wide range of sealing force. The entry fitting can include a shield (60) positioned on the exterior of a sump to provide an access space for displacement of the entry fitting toward the exterior of the sump to allow removal and replacement of the seal without first having to remove backfill from the exterior of the sump.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 8, 1997 and granted December 30, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 8, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 8, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
