Provision is made for an improved method, assembly and a connector apparatus for assembling together a plurality of panels. The connector apparatus includes structure which forms a sealing material reservoir and which can form panel cavities when a panel is seated on the apparatus. The channel type reservoir facilitates the even application of sealant material to the apparatus.

Method, assembly and apparatus for joining panels

An apparatus for treating a gas stream with a liquid includes a housing containing an eliminator section for removing liquid from the gas and, adjacent to and upstream of the eliminator section with respect to the gas flow, vertical angle liquid collectors mounted on side walls of the housing to remove from the gas stream large amounts of liquid which flow along the side walls. A plate member depends from a top wall of the housing and another plate member extends up from adjacent the bottom wall of the housing to deflect toward a central portion of the eliminator liquid-laden portions of the gas stream which travel along the top and bottom walls. Baffles upstream of the eliminator are adjustable to control the flow of gas through the apparatus. The eliminator includes a plurality of sawtooth blades defining zigzag paths for the gas, each blade including a plurality of planar members each having at least one vertical groove adjacent its trailing end to remove liquid from the gas and permit it to drain. Each blade member terminates in a tail portion, parallel to the gas flow, defining additional drainage grooves.
