FLUID HANDLING ASSEMBLY HAVING A MULTILAYERED COMPOSITE PIPE EMPLOYING A MECHANICAL COUPLING AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE FLUID HANDLING ASSEMBLY

摘要

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 fix tune that sealingly engages the first pipe and a second pipe. A method of making the fluid handling assembly is also disclosed.
