Abstract
A corporation stop has a threaded stem with an enlarged, conical head portion and a neck portion of reduced size coaxially surrounded by a resilient sleeve member. A flat, annular compression ring rests above the sleeve member and has at least one notch formed radially in its outer edge and has on its lower side a sleeve receiving recess of a diameter greater than that of the annular opening to receive the upper end of the sleeve member. A clamp nut is engageable with the neck portion of the threaded stem. A saddle member having at least one tab projecting radially engages the notch in the compression ring. As the clamp nut is engaged with the neck portion of the threaded stem, the compression ring is forced against the resilient sleeve member so as (1) to forcibly move the upper end of the sleeve member within the compression ring recess to form an external seal between the compression ring and the external sidewall of the conduit, and (2) to forcibly move the lower end of the sleeve member over the conical head portion to thereby expand the lower end of the sleeve member and form an internal seal with the opening in the lined conduit.
