A dielectric tubular fitting for dissipating electrical energy, while providing fluid flow therethrough, the fitting including coaxial first and second generally tubular light metal housings, with a first, generally cylindrical, spacer of a Peek material composition being sealingly interposed therebetween and a first generally disc-shaped first ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) spacer, of a Krefine material composition, for controlling the electrical resistance between the first and second housings, being additionally interposed between as well as both axially and radially separating at least the first and second housings, with a tubular insulator housing, of a carbon filled PTFE type material composition, enveloping at least a portion of the first housing. Several embodiments of both in-line and bulkhead type fittings are set forth, one of the latter including frangible screws and an external fracture plane, with an internal controlled weak portion including an internal fracture plane, these fracture planes providing controlled breakaway features. |
