Abstract
A movement-constraining assembly for a fluid-conveying system comprises a fluid-conveying tube defining an inner passage for fluid to pass therethrough. The tube is adapted to be connected to components of the fluid-conveying system at opposed ends thereof. A blocking ring is mounted to the tube with complementary surfaces between the tube and the blocking ring to block rotation between the tube and the blocking ring, the blocking ring having a first joint portion. A base is adapted to be secured to a structure, and having a second joint portion operatively joined to the first joint portion of the blocking ring to form a joint blocking at least an axial rotational degree of freedom of the fluid-conveying tube and allowing at least one translational degree of freedom of the tube relative to the structure. A method for constraining movement of a fluid-conveying tube of a fluid conveying-system is also provided.
