Abstract:

A method of preparing a sealed connector system for connection is presented. The sealed connector system has a male connector body, a female connector body defining a shroud to receive the male connector body, and a resilient seal surrounding the male connector body. The method includes the steps of applying lubricant on a seal wiping surface on the shroud interior and inserting the male connector body within the female connector body such that the resilient seal is in compressive contact with the seal wiping surface. A tool to apply the lubricant includes an insert disposed within the shroud having a central cavity and passages extending from the central cavity to portals defined in an outer surface of the insert and a spray valve disposed within the insert configured to dispense a lubricant mist into the central cavity, through the passages to the portals, and onto the seal wiping surface.
