SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF THE EMBEDDED PIPE FITTING

Description

Techniques for implementing a piping system that includes a pipe segment and an embedded pipe fitting. The pipe segment includes a pipe with an internal pressure sleeve, a reinforcing strip, and an external sleeve.The recessed barrel fitting includes an external fitting body arranged around a portion of the reinforcing strip, an internal fitting body arranged between the portion of the reinforcing strip and the inner pressure sleeve layer, wherein the internal fitting body rests directly on the inner pressure sleeve layer at least to a point where the reinforcing strip begins to widen from the inner pressure sleeve layer, and a recessed cavity for the encapsulated barrel fitting is defined at least between an internal surface of the external fitting body and an external surface of the fitting body. INTERNAL, AND CURED ENCAPSULATION MATERIAL IS IMPLEMENTED AROUND THE PORTION OF THE REINFORCEMENT STRIP IN THE ENCAPSULATION CAVITY.
