A FLUID HANDLING ASSEMBLY HAVING A ROBUST INSERT

摘要

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.
