Claim Text:
1. A seal assembly for a conduit, the assembly comprising: a substantially inflexible collar member sized to form an axial seal around the conduit, the substantially inflexible collar member having a flange extending substantially radially; and a substantially flexible axial seal member in sealing contact with the substantially inflexible collar member, the substantially flexible axial seal member including a first portion in sealing contact with a first face of the flange and a second portion in sealing contact with a second face of the flange, such that tile flange is positioned between the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member, wherein the substantially flexible axial seal member and the substantially inflexible collar member maintain the axial seal around the conduit and permit axial movement, translational movement and rotational movement of the conduit relative to a conduit passage panel, wherein the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member are directly attached to each other and permit translational movement of the conduit by allowing translational sliding of the flange between the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member relative to the conduit passage panel, and wherein the first portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member is located between the conduit passage panel and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member in an axial direction of the conduit.
