Abstract
A problem solved by this invention is to enable prevention of damage to a connector in a fluid transfer tube that is made by mounting a connector to an end of a tube, even when an outside air temperature falls below freezing point. The problem is solved as follows. In a fluid transfer tube that is made by mounting pipe joints to ends of a tube that has elasticity, tube connecting portions of the pipe joints and sections of the tube in the vicinity of the tube connecting portions are covered with heat radiation preventing covers to thereby delay freezing of a fluid inside the tube sections that are covered by the heat radiation preventing covers.
Claims12
A fluid transfer tube comprising a pipe joint mounted to an end of a tube having elasticity, wherein a tube connecting portion of the pipe joint and a tube part of the tube adjacent to the tube connecting portion are covered with a heat radiation preventing cover to shift a freezing pressure generated in the pipe joint to be absorbed by the part of the tube that is covered with the heat radiation preventing cover.
