Abstract
A secondarily contained piping system has two spaced access chambers interconnected by a secondary containment pipe to provide a sealed housing for a flexible fluid supply pipe, the ends of which are disposed within the access chamber and have a connector element at each end forming a section adaptable to be interconnected to other fluid conduits, the diameter and bending radius of the fluid supply pipe and the size of the access chamber permitting the fluid pipe after uncoupling to readily be removed from the secondary containment pipe through one of the access chambers.
