Abstract
A cover for a sump assembly including a riser section of generally tubular configuration comprising a top section and a skirt section depending from the outer periphery of the top section. The skirt section being of a configuration defining a pair of side by side circumferentially extending inner and outer channels which open in opposite axial directions. One of the channels is engageable over a seal mounted on the outer axial end of the riser. A compression ring is engageable in the other channel to produce radially directed sealing forces between the cover and the riser section.
