Filed:

Feb 4, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/018374

Inventors:

Andrew E. Mau - Enfield CT

Assignee:

Titeflex Corporation - Springfield MA

International Classification:

F16L 914

US Classification:

285 55

Abstract:

A self-flaring fitting assembly for semi-flexible, convoluted tubes or pipes is provided. The inventive fitting assembly, which basically comprises an adaptor, a nut, and a split bushing assembly, eliminates the need for sealing gaskets, is reusable, and further facilitates the ease and speed of installation of semi-flexible piping systems. When used with jacketed tubing, the present inventive fitting assembly is capable of both preventing the undesirable movement of the jacket during installation and assembly and of reducing or eliminating exposure of the tubing located within the fitting assembly to contaminants or corrosive materials found in the surrounding environment.

International Classification:

F16L 11/22

US Classification:

138109

Abstract:

Provided is a flexible hose assembly having an inner nipple coupled to an inner flexible hose and an outer nipple at least partially surrounding the inner nipple and being coupled to an outer flexible hose, wherein a first fluid flowing through the inner nipple is directed outward in-between the inner and outer flexible hoses and a second fluid flowing in-between the inner and outer nipples is directed inward to the inner flexible hose. By directing the second fluid inward and the first flow outward, the outer flexible hose is prevented from collapsing on the inner flexible hose when pressure of the second fluid flowing through the inner flexible hose is greater than a pressure of the first fluid flowing through the outer flexible hose.

B29C 65/48

US Classification:

248 65, 156294

Abstract:

A dielectric fitting assembly for mounting on a support includes a mounting bracket including an hollow body defining a central cavity therein and extending along a longitudinal axis; and a tubular component received within the cavity, wherein the hollow body includes an internal wall surface defining a gap between the hollow body and the tubular component, wherein the bracket includes at least one port along the hollow body, fluidly connecting with the gap, and through which adhesive can be directed into the gap between the bracket and tubular component for fixing the component to the bracket.
