Abstract
An exemplary embodiment provides a shrouded conduit joint assembly that includes a joint assembly and a boot shroud. The joint assembly includes a first ferrule having a first seal, and a second ferrule having a second seal. A clamp operatively engages the first ferrule and the second ferrule. The boot shroud surrounds the joint assembly and is spaced from the joint assembly to create a leak detection space between the joint assembly and the boot shroud.
