A tool for laying a sealing strip around a protruding part of a connecting element protruding from a bearing surface, the laying tool including an annular duct having an outer surface configured to delimit, with the bearing surface and the protruding part, a cavity when the annular duct is positioned around the protruding part and in contact with the bearing surface, the annular duct including at least one orifice for supplying pasty composition and outlet orifices for injecting the pasty composition into the cavity to form the sealing strip. A method for laying a sealing strip using the tool is disclosed and an aircraft with at least one sealing strip obtained using the method.

A drainage valve comprising a through hole, a seat around the through hole, a shutter comprising an end face and movable in a longitudinal direction between a first position in which the end face of the shutter is away from the seat and a second position in which the end face of the shutter is pressed against the seat and blocks the through hole, and an elastic element configured to keep the shutter in the first position. The shutter has a recess, emerging at its end face, configured to introduce therein a part of a tool in order to temporarily secure the part of the tool and the shutter in order to displace it in two directions longitudinally.

A seal includes a barrel extending between a base and a top, in which the barrel has a cylindrical cavity passing through it between its base and its top, and a skirt indissociable from the barrel and extending around said barrel, in which the skirt adopts the shape of a dome of which the exterior edges extend out beyond the base starting from the top. The seal is able to divert the fluid and keep the space under the skirt fluid tight.

A support for a pipe which comprises a body which comprises a through-orifice for the pipe. The through-orifice has a diameter which is greater than an external diameter of the pipe. At least one base of the support is configured so as to be in contact with and connected to a fixing surface. A first ring and a second ring each have an eccentric orifice and are configured so as to be fitted one into the other in the orifice of the body about the pipe when the support is put in position. By rotating at least one of the first and second rings, the position of the axis of the pipe may be adjusted radially relative to the support.
