PIPE ASSEMBLY
DRIVE
March 4, 2026
A pipe assembly (10) for a pipe (1) traversing a firewall (20) from a first zone (A) to a second zone (B) in an engine. The pipe assembly provides a misalignment capability and has a shield device (2) that provides a spatial separation between a sealing space (S) around the pipe (1) and a part of the first zone (A). The sealing space (S) has an opening (O) towards another part of the first space (A). The pipe assembly also has a sealing device (15) that is movable within the sealing space (S) through an opening (O) to seal off the sealing space (S) against the first zone (A). The shield device (2) and the sealing device (15) are made from a fireproof material. At least a part of the shield device (1) is elastically biased against the sealing device (15).
