Abstract: A peristaltic pump head includes a housing assembly adapted for mounting to a drive mechanism, a roller assembly arranged with the housing assembly and a flexible conduit extending through the housing assembly and engageable by the roller assembly to impel fluid therethrough. The roller assembly and the flexible conduit are removable from the housing assembly without disconnecting the entire housing assembly from the drive mechanism. The roller assembly can include an axially extending drive shaft, a roller control body fixedly mounted to the drive shaft, at least a first end plate rotatably mounted about the drive shaft, and at least a first roller arm pivotably mounted to the first end plate. The flexible conduit can include a length of hollow tubing made of an elastomeric material, and at least one overmolded end fitting made of a rigid polymeric material and fused to an end of the hollow tubing.
