Abstract
A pipe assembly includes a flexible pipe segment and at least one end fitting. The at least one end fitting includes an end casing coupled to the flexible pipe segment and a seal housing removably coupled to the end casing. The end casing defines a seal housing-receiving bore extending longitudinally through the end casing, and the seal housing is positioned within the seal housing-receiving bore. The seal housing defines at least one seal bore extending from an axially distal surface of the seal housing, and one or more sealing elements are seated in a respective one of the at least one seal bore. The end casing is couplable to a counterpart fitting, and the seal housing and/or the one or more sealing elements are configured to define a sealing interface with the counterpart fitting.
