Abstract
A subsea stab plate assembly includes a stab plate which has apertures each extending in an axial direction through the plate from a front face of the plate to a rear face of the plate. A subsea hydraulic coupler has a body with an internal longitudinal passageway including a valve operable to open the passageway on the mating of the coupler with a complementary coupler. The coupler is shaped for insertion through an aperture in either of two directions, having a circumferential groove and a flange assembly including an axially extending hub which fits into the groove and a shoulder for abutment against the front face of the plate. The flange assembly includes a plurality of separable segments, each of which constitutes part of the hub and part of the shoulder. The hub fits between the groove and the inside of the aperture.
