This heading also includes fittings of plastics for tubes, pipes and hoses (for example, joints, elbows, flanges). Tubes, pipes and hoses and fittings therefor ma be rigid or flexible and may be reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials. (For e classification of tubes, ipes, etc., of plastics combined with other materials, see the General Explanatory Note to this C apter.) R
