Flexible Pipe Loop

Abstract

A flexible pipe loop for use in a pipe run, which is divided at allocation along its run, said loop comprising: a first flexible tube member comprising a first and second open end, wherein the first open end is to be connected to the pipe run at the divided location such that the first flexible tube member is in fluid communication with the pipe run; a second flexible tube member comprising a first and second open end, wherein the first open end is connected to and in fluid communication with the second open end of the first flexible tube member; a third flexible tube member comprising a first and second open end, wherein the first open end is connected to and in fluid communication with the second open end of the second flexible tube member such that the third flexible tube member is disposed substantially in parallel with the second flexible tube member, wherein the second open end of the third flexible tube member is to be connected to and in fluid communication with the pipe run; wherein the first flexible tube member is disposed substantially perpendicularly to both the second flexible tube member and the third flexible tube member.
