Abstract
The present invention discloses a pressured O-ring type sealing system which allows for effective seals without expensive and time consuming machining of the sealing surface. The O-ring sealing system of the present invention allows the sealing member to conform to the natural surface irregularities of the sealing surface and to compensate for any eccentricities between the plug and the inner diameter of the member being sealed.
