Abstract
A metallurgical vessel includes a plurality of tuyeres for respectively delivering process materials to molten metal contained within the vessel. A first plurality of axial passages are provided in at least one vessel trunnion pin for conducting fluids to and from the vessel and a second plurality of radial passages are also formed in the trunnion pin and each respectively intersects one of the axial passages. An adapter sealingly engages the outer end of each radial passage and is retained in position by a common cover plate. The outer end of each adapter extends through the cover plate and is constructed and arranged for being coupled to one end of a conduit, the other end of which is connected to one of said tuyeres.
