Abstract
A technique for engaging a bore connector with a receptacle on subsea equipment. The technique may include providing an operator with a visual indication of acceptable alignment between the connector and the receptacle in advance of attaining engagement. In this way, a proper and reliably sealed engagement may be achieved. Further, the bore connector and techniques for use thereof include added indication of completed sealed engagement sufficient for testing and/or operational use of the connector in supporting a fluid application directed at the equipment through the receptacle.
