  • Patent number: 9989175
    Abstract: An exemplary adapter configured as a transition between a fitting and a fluid system component. In one exemplary embodiment, the adapter is configured as a transition between a compression fitting and a fluid system component. The adapter comprises a body portion, a compression portion, and a flange portion. A first end of the body portion is inserted into a port of the compression fitting and the compression portion compresses a resilient seal against a sealing shoulder of the fitting. A nut of the compression fitting engages the flange portion of the adapter to connect the adapter to the compression fitting. A second end of the body portion is connected to a fluid system component. The adapter provides a fluid tight connection between the compression fitting and the fluid system component without using a gasket ring or a locking ring of the compression fitting.

The extension includes a threaded tip for threadably coupling the threaded component. The extension also has a radially extending face adjacent the tip that includes a second seal groove. A first seal of the fluid coupling is positioned in the first seal groove and is adapted to provide a seal between the body portion and the extension. A second seal of the fluid coupling is positioned in the second seal groove and is adapted to provide a seal between the extension and the threaded component.
