Abstract: A load bearing flexible conduit system for use in a body of water and adapted for deployment from a reel located on a water going vessel into the body of water is disclosed. The system comprises a number of lengths of load bearing flexible conduit, each length of load bearing flexible conduit provided with an inner layer having a throughbore and a load bearing outer layer. A joint for connecting the lengths together has a body having a longitudinal axis and a throughbore and at least one flexible coupling to permit at least one of the ends of the respective first and second lengths of load bearing flexible conduit to move relative to the longitudinal axis of the joint.

Abstract: A load bearing flexible conduit system (10) for use in a body of water and adapted for deployment from a reel (100) located on a water going vessel into the body of water is disclosed. The system comprises a number of lengths (12) of load bearing flexible conduit, each length of load bearing flexible conduit provided with an inner layer (44) having a throughbore and a load bearing outer layer (50). A joint (30) for connecting the lengths together has a body having a longitudinal axis and a throughbore and at least one flexible coupling to permit at least one of the said one ends of the respective first and second lengths of load bearing flexible conduit to move relative to the longitudinal axis of the joint. The lengths of load bearing flexible conduit are sufficiently flexible such that they are capable of being stored, prior to use, on a reel (100) and are further capable of being at least partially payed out from the reel into the body of water during use.

Abstract: A kit including a central adaptor (10) and interchangeable terminators (40) that are configured to connect two separate lines via the central adaptor (10) is described. The central adaptor (10) comprises two end connectors (20) onto which first and second terminators (40) are coupled, and the first and second lines are then coupled to the respective terminators (40) such that the lines are in fluid communication with each other. The lines may be of different diameters. The terminators (40) contained within the kit comprise a range of diameters, thereby facilitating connection of a respective range of lines.
