Abstract: A connector body for use in a connector assembly for making fluid connections includes a hollow connector body, the hollow connector body comprising a resilient deformable seal having a central aperture and a lip surrounding the central aperture; a locking mechanism integrally formed with the hollow connector body, the locking mechanism comprising at least one lug including a slot, and at least one ramp; a hollow connector first body end and a second body end; and an anti-actuation assembly engagement portion comprising at least one recess and/or at least one protrusion; and a removable anti-actuation assembly comprising at least one peel strip, and at least one recess and/or at least one protrusion, the at least one recess and/or at least one protrusion being engaged with the anti-actuation assembly engagement portion of the hollow connector body. Connector assemblies and processes for making fluid connections using the assemblies are also provided.

Abstract: Connector assemblies, connector bodies, fluid systems including connector assemblies, and procedures for making fluid connections are disclosed.

Abstract: A filter unit for a modular filter assembly comprises a head (1), said head having a feed chamber (2) and a discharge chamber (3), and a casing (6) surrounding a filter element (4). Fluid flow from the feed chamber to the discharge chamber of said filter unit passes through said filter element. The head (1) is provided with a first inlet opening (21) and a first outlet opening (22) which communicate with said feed chamber (2), and the head (1) is provided with a second inlet opening (31) and a second outlet opening (32) which communicate with said discharge chamber (3).

Abstract: A filter assembly particularly useful for the nuclear industry is provided with a number of cylindrical cartridge filters attached to a plenum chamber which is formed by a rotational moulding process. A rod is provided on the assembly which can be attached to an automatic handling device to allow remote fitting and removal of the filter assembly into and from a casing. The assembly is easy and cheap to manufacture and can be destroyed after use.
