Abstract
A connector assembly for securing a first hydrocarbon production system component to a second hydrocarbon production system component includes a connector body having a first end connectable to the first component and a second end connectable to the second component. An annular primary sealing member is positioned between the connector body and the second component. At least one test port extends through the connector body from an outer surface of the connector body to a space between the connector body and the second component which is in fluid communication with an exterior side of the primary sealing member. In this manner, the primary sealing member may be pressure tested by communicating a test pressure through the at least one test port to the exterior side of the primary sealing member.
