Abstract
The disclosure outlines a hose system and method for coupling hoses. The system includes an inner hose surrounded by an outer hose, coupled by a coupling device. In some embodiments, the coupling device and outer hose form a containment assembly for the inner hose. In some embodiments, hoses are flexible and can connect to fluid sources. In some embodiments, clamps can further secure the hoses to the coupling device. The disclosure includes methods of coupling hoses, including by using a pulling device to thread the inner hose through the outer hose. In some embodiments, the coupling method involves attaching the hoses to different parts of a coupling device, potentially utilizing a seat.
Claims9
A method for coupling hoses in a hose system, comprising:
- removably attaching a pulling device selected from a rope, a cable, a chain, or a mechanical pulling tool to a first end of an inner hose;
- pulling the inner hose through an outer hose;
- detaching the pulling device from the first end of the inner hose;
- and
- coupling a first end of the inner hose to a first portion of a coupling device and coupling a first end of the outer hose to a second portion of the coupling device;
- wherein the outer hose and the coupling device cooperate to form a leak containment volume configured to capture and contain fluid leakage from the inner hose.
