Abstract
An access port cover is fitted with a sealing plug that is adapted to fit inside a conduit to provide an occluding seal. The conduit is also fitted with an inner flap that is automatically closed and latched when the cover is closed and latched. In a preferred embodiment, a ridge in the inner wall of the conduit cooperates with a support plate to compress the plug between the cover and the plate, extruding the plug radially into sealing engagement with the inner wall of the conduit.
