ABSTRACT:
A pipe section (112) that is operable to be installed in tubing (120A and120B) of a jetted bath to render the tubing adaptable to accept a close fit device (130). The pipe section includes a removable hollow center segment (116) disposed between end fittings (118A and118B) and grooves (117A and117B). The grooves (117A and117B) on the pipe section (112) define the hollow center segment (116) guide post-installation cutting of the pipe section at predetermined locations. The hollow center segment (116) may be selectively removed leaving the end fittings (118A and118B) coupled to the tubing (120A and120B). Once the center segment is removed, the close fit device may be installed between the end fittings (118A and118B). In another aspect of the present invention, the center segment (416) is removed by unfastening the center segment from the end fittings (418A and418B).
