Abstract: A fitting for use in a manifold or other tubular assembly includes a core and at least one tubular coupling sleeve slidably and sealingly fitted over a distal end of the core to accommodate predetermined tolerances in the relative positions of fluid ports connected with the tubular assembly. Features are provided to limit the range of motion to the predetermined tolerances and to prevent disassembly of the coupling sleeve from the core of the fitting.

Abstract: A connector for providing a leak resistant flow path between fluid conduits includes a female connector, a male connector, and a tubular fluid conduit that extends through a conduit passage in the male connector and into a conduit receiving passage in the female connector. The connector can include optional anti-cantilever features that provide a more effective axial seal when using a seal washer recessed into a planar surface of the male connector to supplement a radial seal provided by an O-ring sealing member between the tubular fluid conduit and the conduit receiving passage.
