In order to further improve a method and a device for rehabilitating a pipe section, wherein the rehabilitation device has at least one tube-shaped inliner for sealing damage to the pipe section and a heating element, in such a way that the rehabilitation may be carried out more easily, safer, and more economically, it is proposed to design the heating element as a tube-shaped and electric heating element and to arrange it essentially across an entire length of the inliner arranged within the pipe section, and to cure the inliner essentially along the entire length in one step by means of the tube-shaped electric heating element.

A protector is proposed for an end of an elongate member, such as an end of a pipe or tube. The protector comprises a rigid portion which has a body portion for insertion into a cavity defined by an end portion of the elongate member, and a cover portion extending from the body portion. The protector further comprises a flexible portion provided on an outer surface of the body portion. The flexible portion comprises one or more resilient members. When the body portion is received within the cavity of the elongate member, the resilient members engage the inner surface of the cavity, and the cover portion covers an end surface of the elongate member.

A helical strake pole system that includes a tubular pole having a longitudinal axis and threaded attachment points. The system further includes a helical strake fin disposed circumferentially around a portion of the tubular pole along the longitudinal axis. The system further includes couplers disposed on the tubular pole. The couplers are configured such that each coupler has a first portion with a slot configured to receive an upper portion of the helical strake fin and a second portion configured to removably coupled to a threaded attachment point of the tubular pole. In addition, each coupler is configured to position a portion of the helical strake fin substantially perpendicular to a surface of the tubular pole.

There is provided a pipe thread protector having first and second ends, threading extending from the first end towards the second end thereof, and a bore extending from the first end to the second end thereof. A seal couples to the first end of the pipe thread protector and is tubular. The seal tapers in a direction extending from a proximal end thereof towards a distal end thereof, and tapers in a direction extending from an outer surface thereof to an inner surface thereof. There is additionally provided a pipe thread protector assembly including a pipe thread protector, a coupling via which the pipe thread protector and a male threaded end of a pipe threadably couple together, and a seal coupled to an inner end of the pipe thread protector. The seal is shaped to protect and extend along an outer end surface of the pipe.

Fluid management systems for handling pressurized fluid connect various subsystems or subunits without the need to use reinforced tubing. The system utilizes one or more segments of unreinforced conduit that are encapsulated at various points along a length of the segment with one or more rigid encapsulating members. The unreinforced conduit may be made a disposable element while the rigid encapsulating members may be re-used. In one aspect, the encapsulating member may include a two-part valve body that surrounds and encapsulates a portion of the unreinforced conduit. In another aspect, the encapsulating member may include a two-part jacket that surrounds and encapsulates a portion of the unreinforced conduit. The two-part valve bodies and two-part jackets may be joined at various points within the system as part of the overall flow system.

A vehicle body structure includes an exhaust component, a pipe extending from the exhaust component and a water shield. The water shield has a first end fixed to the pipe at a location proximate the exhaust component. The water shield extends rearward from the location proximate the exhaust component and has a second end that is spaced apart from the pipe.

A tube shielding system prevents pests such as rodents and insects from damaging tubes or pipes, particularly those made of plastics or other soft materials. The tubes are wrapped with a protective barrier that has a pest control layer. The pest control layer a deterrent that could be physical or chemical. Examples of deterrents are steel mesh, sand, peppermint and capsaicin.
