Abstract: A method of installing a pipe fitting that includes providing a pipe fitting including an extended run portion having a length that is greater than a length of the opposing run portion of the pipe fitting, and removing a portion of a line of pipe to provide an opening. The extended run portion of the pipe fitting is slid over the first end of the line of pipe within the opening formed in the line of pipe. The pipe fitting may then be moved to a second position by sliding the opposing run portion of the pipe fitting over the second end of the line of pipe, while the extended run portion of the pipe fitting is still present over the first end of the line of pipe. The pipe fitting is fused to the first and second end of the line of pipe.

Abstract: A food container including an inner wall defining a food-containing cavity, and an outer wall defining a geometry of the food container. The outer wall is in contact with the inner wall to provide a unitary structure encapsulating a chamber between the inner wall and the outer wall of the food container. An aqueous salt solution is contained within the chamber between the inner wall and the outer wall. The aqueous salt solution has a water to salt by volume ratio that ranges from 2.5 parts water to 1 part salt to 3.5 parts water to 1 part salt. Following removal of the food container from a refrigeration unit, the aqueous salt solution of the food container maintains a temperature of a foodstuff positioned within the food-containing cavity with a range from ?0.5° C. and 10° C.
