Hose assembly with reinforced fire sleeve

This disclosure relates to a hose, such as a fire zone hose, that can include an inner tube, a thermal protection sleeve and a braided member. The inner tube can form a flow path for conveying fluid. The thermal protection sleeve can be disposed around the inner tube. The thermal protection sleeve can include an inner surface and an outer surface such that the inner tube is positioned inwards from an inner surface of the thermal protection sleeve. The braided member can be disposed around the thermal protection sleeve, such that the braided member deforms the outer surface of the thermal protection sleeve. Additionally, the hose can include a braid retainer. The braid retainer can be disposed around an end of the braided member to secure the braided member to the thermal protection sleeve.

Fire zone hoses and methods for forming the same

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.
