An electrical isolator (10; 210; 310; 410; 510) is provided, the isolator (10; 210; 310; 410; 510) comprising: a first fluid-carrying member (12; 212; 312; 412; 512; 612) a second fluid-carrying member (14; 214; 314; 414; 514; 614) spaced apart from the first fluid-carrying member (12; 212; 312; 412; 512; 612) to form a gap; a resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (24; 224; 324; 424; 524; 624) extending across the gap and bonded to the first (12; 212; 312; 412; 512; 612) and second (14; 214; 314; 414; 514; 614) fluid-carrying members so as to provide a fluid tight seal between the first fluid-carrying member (12; 212; 312; 412; 512; 612) and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (24; 224; 324; 424; 524; 624) and between the second fluid-carrying member(14; 214; 314; 414; 514; 614) and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (24; 224; 324; 424; 524; 624); and a reinforcing composite (30; 230; 330; 430; 530; 630) encircling the first fluid-carrying member (12; 212; 312; 412; 512; 612), the second fluid-carrying member (14; 214; 314; 414; 514; 614) and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (24; 224; 324; 424; 524; 624).
