A fitting () for fluid communication with a fluid conduit includes a first fluid conduit connection portion (), a second fluid conduit connection portion ('), a header () disposed axially between the first fluid conduit connection portion and the second fluid conduit connection portion, and a socket (). A fluid fitting may include a nipple (), a radial projection () connected to the nipple, and an axial protrusion () extending from the radial projection. The axial protrusion may be configured to protrude into an axial end of a fluid conduit (). A fluid fitting may include a fluid conduit connection portion () and a dynamic tip () connected to an end of the fluid conduit connection portion. The dynamic tip may be configured to expand in response to an increase in fluid pressure.

Fluid fitting

A conduit assembly, such as an electrical conduit assembly, includes a flexible convoluted tube having a non-conductive fluoropolymer interior and a conductive carbon exterior that decreases the electrical resistance of the tube. A fitting is secured to an end of the flexible convoluted tube. The fitting includes a nipple having a profiled tubular portion received into the end of the flexible convoluted tube and a socket secured to the fitting so as trap the end of the flexible convoluted tube between the nipple and the socket. At least one of the nipple and the socket are made from a metal treated to decrease the electrical resistance of the fitting.
