Abstract
An apparatus for use in conjunction with a pressure vessel, having a tubular conduit extending into the interior of the pressure vessel. The outer end of the conduit is rigidly fixed to one end of the pressure vessel in a pressure-tight connection. The inner end of the conduit is attached to a saddle at the other end of the pressure vessel, where the saddle is adapted to slidably receive the conduit such that upon expansion of the pressure vessel due to pressurization, the conduit will move independently relative to the saddle.
