ABSTRACT:
A flow liner includes a flexible conduit having a first end and a second end. A gasket has an outside diameter and an aperture. A first portion of the first end is positioned to extend through the aperture and fold around the outside diameter such that a folded over portion of the first portion is in contact with the outer surface of the flexible conduit to define a seal therebetween.
