Expandable cross-over tube connector

A meter pit setter assembly that includes an inlet that leads to a ball valve coupling that is in fluid communication with a pressure regulating valve, the pressure regulating valve is also fluidly attached to a coupling fluidly attached to an expandable S-tube, the expandable S-tube comprising:

• a first arcuate tube that has a first opening at a first end of the first arcuate tube and a second opening at a second end of the first arcuate tube and spaced apart from the first opening of the first arcuate tube;
• wherein the second end of the first arcuate tube is connected to an expansion coupling portion;
• wherein the second end of the first arcuate tube connects to a telescoping tube member of the expansion coupling portion;
• a second arcuate tube that has a first opening at a first end of the second arcuate tube and a second opening at a second end of the second arcuate tube and spaced apart from the first opening of the second arcuate tube;
• wherein the second end of the second arcuate tube is connected to the expansion coupling portion;
• wherein the second end of the second arcuate tube connects to a body member of the expansion coupling portion;
• wherein the telescoping tube member of the expansion coupling portion is coupled to the body member of the expansion coupling portion;
• wherein the body member of the expansion coupling portion is movable with respect to the telescoping tube member between an extended position and a retracted position to provide variable lengths of the expandable S-tube;
• wherein the expansion coupling portion provides fluid communication from the first arcuate tube to the second arcuate tube;
• and
• wherein the first arcuate tube, the second arcuate tube, and the expansion coupling portion form an S-shaped structure of the expandable S-tube.

A meter pit setter assembly that includes an inlet that leads to a ball valve coupling that is in fluid communication with a pressure regulating valve, the pressure regulating valve is also fluidly attached to a coupling fluidly attached to an expandable U-tube, the expandable U-tube comprising:

• a first angled tube that has a first opening at a first end of the first angled tube and a second opening at a second end of the first angled tube and spaced apart from the first opening of the first angled tube;
• wherein the first opening of the first angled tube is oriented tangential to the second opening of the first angled tube;
• wherein the second end of the first angled tube is connected to an expansion coupling portion;
• wherein the second end of the first angled tube connects to a telescoping tube member of the expansion coupling portion;
• a second angled tube that has a first opening at a first end of the second angled tube and a second opening at a second end of the second angled tube and spaced apart from the first opening of the second angled tube;
• wherein the first opening of the second angled tube is oriented tangential to the second opening of the second angled tube;
• wherein the second end of the second angled tube is connected to the expansion coupling portion;
• wherein the second end of the second angled tube connects to a body member of the expansion coupling portion;
• wherein the telescoping tube member of the expansion coupling portion is coupled to the body member of the expansion coupling portion;
• wherein the body member of the expansion coupling portion is linearly movable with respect to the telescoping tube member between an extended position and a retracted position to provide variable lengths of the expandable U-tube;
• wherein the expansion coupling portion provides fluid communication from the first angled tube to the second angled tube;
• and
• wherein the first angled tube, the second angled tube, and the expansion coupling portion form an U-shaped structure of the expandable U-tube.
