Abstract:
1. A dielectric fitting comprising: a first metallic tube including a socket having an end fixed to the first metallic tube; a remote second metallic tube including a socket having an end fixed to the second metallic tube; a reinforced non-metallic hose having a first end attached to the socket of the first metallic tube and a second end attached to the socket of the second metallic tube, the hose extending between and fluidly interconnecting the first metallic tube and the second metallic tube, the non-metallic hose having an inner liner, the inner liner including a carbon layer providing controlled electrical resistance to dissipate positive charge of fluid flowing through the dielectric fitting; a dielectric cover completely surrounding and encapsulating the non-metallic hose and the sockets of the tubes, and at least partially encapsulating and in direct contact with each of the metallic tubes; and the fitting does not include any O-ring seals.
