Middle threaded fitting
A fitting for forming a double-walled tube includes an inner fitting having a first inner weld lip, a second inner weld lip, and an inner body extending from the first inner weld lip to the second inner weld lip and having an outer surface with a first threading. The fitting also includes an outer fitting having a first outer weld lip, a second outer weld lip, and an outer body extending from the first outer weld lip to the second outer weld lip and having an inner surface with a second threading that is configured to mate with the first threading.
1. A fitting for forming a double-walled tube, comprising:
an inner fitting having a first inner weld lip, a second inner weld lip, and an inner body extending from the first inner weld lip to the second inner weld lip and having an outer surface with a first threading; and
an outer fitting having a first outer weld lip, a second outer weld lip, and an outer body extending from the first outer weld lip to the second outer weld lip and having an inner surface with a second threading that is configured to mate with the first threading,
wherein the inner fitting further includes at least two bump-outs extending outward from the inner body, and the outer surface with the first threading is positioned on an outer surface of the at least two bump-outs.
2. The fitting of claim 1 , wherein a channel is defined between the at least two bump-outs when the inner fitting is mated with the outer fitting to allow fluid to flow between the inner body and the outer body.
3. The fitting of claim 1 , wherein the at least two bump-outs includes three bump-outs.
4. The fitting of claim 1 , wherein the outer fitting further includes an outward-extending protrusion having at least one angle configured to interface with a tool for fastening the outer fitting to the inner fitting.
5. The fitting of claim 4 , wherein the outward-extending protrusion has a shape that corresponds to a portion of a hexagon.
6. The fitting of claim 1 , wherein a length of the inner fitting from the first inner weld lip to the second inner weld lip is less than a length of the outer fitting from the first outer weld lip to the second outer weld lip.
7. A double-walled tube, comprising:
an inner tube having:
a first inner tube and a second inner tube, and
an inner fitting having a first inner weld lip configured to be welded to the first inner tube, a second inner weld lip configured to be welded to the second inner tube, and an inner body extending from the first inner weld lip to the second inner weld lip and having an outer surface with a first threading; and
an outer tube having:
a first outer tube and a second outer tube, and
an outer fitting having a first outer weld lip configured to be welded to the first outer tube, a second outer weld lip configured to be welded to the second outer tube, and an outer body extending from the first outer weld lip to the second outer weld lip and having an inner surface with a second threading that is configured to mate with the first threading,
wherein the inner fitting further includes at least two bump-outs extending outward from the inner body, and the outer surface with the first threading is positioned on an outer surface of the at least two bump-outs.
8. The double-walled tube of claim 7 , wherein a channel is defined between the at least two bump-outs when the inner fitting is mated with the outer fitting to allow fluid to flow between the inner body and the outer body.
9. The double-walled tube of claim 8 , wherein the inner tube is configured to transport the fluid and the channel is configured to allow leakage fluid from the inner tube to pass between the outer fitting and the inner fitting.
10. The double-walled tube of claim 7 , wherein the at least two bump-outs includes three bump-outs.
11. The double-walled tube of claim 7 , wherein the outer fitting further includes an outward-extending protrusion having at least one angle configured to interface with a tool for fastening the outer fitting to the inner fitting.
12. The double-walled tube of claim 11 , wherein the outward-extending protrusion has a shape that corresponds to a portion of a hexagon.
13. The double-walled tube of claim 7 , wherein a length of the inner fitting from the first inner weld lip to the second inner weld lip is less than a length of the outer fitting from the first outer weld lip to the second outer weld lip.
