The items to be imported are referred to as pup joints and C&C hoses. A pup joint is a seamless cold-drawn alloy steel pipe that is threaded on one end and fitted on the other end with a wing union nut. The function of the pup joint is to connect two pieces of high-pressure equipment. A C&C hose is comprised of two pieces of seamless cold-drawn alloy steel piping connected by a wing union nut and swivel joints. Though in the form of a loop when in the closed position, the nut can be undone and the pipe can be rotated to the desired direction. Like the pup joint, the C&C hose is used for connecting high-pressure equipment. In addition, this loop can be used as a means of connecting either two pieces of pipe or two valves together in high-pressure applications.
