Abstract
A routing support (64) for a conduit line fastened in openings and the line includes a plurality of conduits connected end-to-end along a longitudinal axis. The routing support (64) incorporates an outer body (66) with a structure (68) for fastening the body in an opening. The routing support also includes a housing structure to accommodate the ends of two conduits in an end-to-end arrangement and the structure may include two separate structures (one for each conduit end (72)) or a single common structure (accommodating respective ends of the two conduits). The routing support also includes a flexible interface (74) connecting the housing structure (70) to the outer body (66). In addition, the flexible interface (74) and the outer body (66) and the housing structure (70) are integral. Embodiments include a line for transporting fuel with this routing support, and an aircraft wing in which such a line/support transports fuel.
