Abstract: An adaptive manifold includes first and second halves of a manifold body, connected via a hinge, with at last two openings, where the haves are closeable to receive and retain at least two different conduits into the at least two openings. Each of the openings in the manifold are uniformly sized and has a plurality of arcuate retention ribs. Each of the openings are configured to receive a sizing adapter, each sizing adapter having a plurality of securing ribs having an inside and outside surface, such that the outside surface of the securing ribs of the sizing adapters are uniformly sized, arcuate, and adapted to be interfit between the retention ribs of the opening. The inside surfaces of the securing ribs are arcuate and dimensioned to fit into a corrugation of a conduit, so that when the manifold is closed, the conduits are engaged with the inside surfaces of the sizing adapters retaining the conduits within the openings of the manifold.

Abstract: A device has both a debris deflector and a built in CPA assist. The debris deflector is a (sufficiently) large shield that covers the CPA slot and the CPA in the pre-staged arrangement. The device further includes a CPA assist that is configured to engage the pre-staged CPA (now covered by the debris deflector) so that it can allow the manufacturer to engage the now protected CPA when desired.

Abstract: The present arrangement provides a hole retainer for insertion into a threaded hole. The hole retainer has a saddle configured to accept and retain an object, a stabilizing post, and a plurality of staggered locking teeth. The staggered locking teeth extend from the bottom of the stabilizing post upward in a manner such that they engage with threads inside the threaded hole.

Abstract: The present arrangement provides for a protection device having a deflector element with a receiving slot on its underside and a CPA assist coupled to the deflector element. The CPA assist is configured to be moved from the first pre-staged position to the second active position by pressing the CPA assist to engage a CPA positioned within the CPA slot. The protection device is configured to be placed onto a connector with the receiving slot configured to be placed over a CPA slot on the connector.
