Abstract: The present technology is directed to a conductive hybrid waste tube system that comprises tube bodies, tube end fittings, O-rings, coupling sleeves, end fitting adapters and couplings. The tube bodies and tube end fittings are attached and constitute a tube section. O-rings are installed between flanges on the end fittings and the sleeve positioned over the end fittings of adjoining tube sections. If the tubes end fittings are of different designs, an end fitting adapter may be used along with an additional O-ring to provide pressure sealing. The coupling is installed over the completed assembly to prevent the joint from separating. The O-rings/sleeve combination provides the ability for the tube sections to translate and rotate relative to each other while the coupling prevents the joint from excessive translation.
