ABSTRACT:
A flexible synthetic resin coupling is provided which is substantially self-sustaining in an initial configuration but provides sufficient resiliency and flexibility to absorb substantial loading, thereby accommodating relative movement between pipes and/or tanks to which it is connected. The coupling includes a conduit having two ends with a coupling positioned at at least one of the ends. The conduit is configured to have a total curvature of at least 270°, and may be configured to have a central axis of the flowpath defined by the passage within the conduit lie in a serpentine configuration in a single plane or alternatively to loop and lie in more than one plane.
