Abstract
A interconnection system for coaxial fluid tubing includes zero-clearance connectors having a metallic innner gasket for sealing an inner passageway for a first fluid and having a elastomeric outer gasket for sealing an outer passageway for a second fluid. The elastomeric outer gasket forms a fluid-tight seal as the connectors are tightened. Further tightening of the connectors engages and seals the metallic inner gasket. Both straight tubing sections and elbows are constructed in a factory setting so that the completed sections can be assembled at a job site without cutting or welding.
