Abstract
A fuel shroud system has a chamber for draining leaked fuel. The chamber is partly defined by a drain can and a sealing ferrule having a spherical sealing ferrule/drain can interface. The spherical interface allows rotation of the drain can relative to the sealing ferrule about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ferrule, thereby facilitating installation of the drain can. The sealing ferrule also includes an anti-torquing nut to enable the sealing ferrule to be held rigid while the swivel nut is being torqued, thereby preventing torsional static preloads from being applied to the piping system during installation.
