  • FLUID HANDLING ASSEMBLY HAVING A MULTILAYERED COMPOSITE PIPE HAVING A MECHANICAL COUPLING METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE FLUID HANDLING ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20170343136
    Abstract: A fluid handling assembly includes a first pipe. The first pipe includes an inner layer made of a CPVC composition, an intermediate layer made of a metal at least partially surrounding the inner layer, and an outer layer made of a CPVC composition at least partially surrounding the intermediate layer. A first tubular coupling bushing has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is coupled to the first pipe. The second portion has an engaging portion that is configured to engage to a mechanical fixture that sealingly engages the first pipe and a second pipe. A method of making the fluid handling assembly is also disclosed.

  • Fluid Handling Assembly Having a Robust Insert
    Publication number: 20140144538
    Abstract: A fluid handling assembly provides conduits that deliver fluids therethrough. The fluid conduits include pipes, having an inner annular layer (2) of CPVC material, an intermediate annular layer (3) of metallic material and an outer annular layer (4) of CPVC material. Pipes are joined using inserts (9) that are engaged in cemented relation with a coupling. The inserts are configured to resist deformation at relatively high pressures that reduces the risk of separation of the layers of the pipe due to fluid infiltration between such layers.
