A bending sleeve is inserted between the
pre-formed tubes which prevents wrinkling and buckling of tube walls
during bending. Longitudinal channels in the bending sleeve allow
fluid passage between the tubes.
The sleeve is only required in bend areas,
and remains inside the formed assembly providing support to the inner
tube. Grounding spacers are used at tube ends to provide electrical
bonding between tubes, as well as maintain tube concentricity at end
fittings. |
