A pipe installation comprises conductive first and second pipes 26 and 28 installed in a fuel tank and a fitting 30 which connects the first and second pipes and enables fluid to flow through the pipes via a conduit 34 in the fitting. The fitting is attached to the first or second pipe by a flexible joint which permits relative movement between the fitting and the first or second pipe. The fitting is attached to a structure 20 of the fuel tank. The fitting provides a path of least electrical resistance between the first or second pipe and the structure, and the path of least electrical resistance has a resistance between 50Ω and 100MΩ.
