Fig. 3.—Various types of tubing ends The cause of frequent leaks around the end pieces is readily understood by a study of samples Nos.3, 6, and 37. In these the tubing is inserted but a short distance into the end piece and is glued inplace. With a little handling they become loosened and the end piece may drop off any time.No. 5 is a common but not always satisfactory connection, consisting of a wood tailpiece gluedinto the tubing and rubber end. The gas passage is unduly restricted. Compare these sampleswith No. 9, in which a metal tailpiece is screwed into end of tube and is held in rubber end pieceby corrugations which fit corresponding corrugations in the rubber. The modified specificationsrequire something equivalent to this quality and construction Tests of Flexible Gas Tubing 11 Sample No. 18: Construction—i, rubber tube; 2, three layers of impregnated cloth; 3, layer of red rubber; 4, wire wrapping.
