Abstract: A fluid connector, including a connector body, including a first through-bore, a first surface, a second surface, and a flange, a retaining clip operatively arranged to engage the first surface, the retaining clip being radially expandable within the connector body, and a retaining plate arranged to be inserted into the first through-bore, including a distal surface arranged to engage the second surface, a proximal surface, and a second through-bore, wherein the flange is operatively arranged to be crimped radially inward around the retaining plate.

Abstract: A fluid connection assembly, including a connector body, including a first end, a second end, a through-bore, and a radially outward facing surface including a groove, the groove including a first width, and a retainer operatively arranged to be removably connected to the connector body, the retainer including a third end, a fourth end, a first section, a second section displaceable with respect to the first section, a radially inward facing surface, a first flange extending radially inward from the radially inward facing surface and operatively arranged to engage the groove, the first flange including a second width, the second width being less than the first width, and a second flange extending radially inward from the radially inward facing surface.

Abstract: A fluid connection assembly, including a connector body, including a first end, a second end, a first through-bore, and a first radially outward facing surface including at least one aperture extending from the first radially outward facing surface to the first through-bore, and a retainer operatively arranged to be removably connected to the connector body, the retainer including a first section, a second section hingedly connected to the first section, a first radially inward facing surface, and at least one tab extending from the first radially inward facing surface, the at least one tab including a second radially inward facing surface, wherein, in a locked state the at least one tab extends through the at least one aperture and the first radially inward facing surface is arranged proximate the first radially outward facing surface.

Abstract: A fluid connection assembly, including a connector body, including a first end, a second end, a first through-bore, and a first radially outward facing surface comprising a first groove, and a retainer removably connected to the connector body, the retainer including a first section, including a third end engaged with the first groove, a fourth end, a first flange arranged between the third end and the fourth end, a first male connector, and a first female connector, and a second section, including a fifth end engaged with the first groove, a sixth end, a second flange arranged between the fifth end and the sixth end, a second male connector arranged to engage with the first female connector, and a second female connector arranged to engage with the first male connector, wherein, in a locked state the first flange and the second flange abut against the second end.

Abstract: A retainer for a fluid connection assembly, including a first end, a second end, a first section, a second section displaceable with respect to the first section, a radially inward facing surface, a radially outward facing surface, and an indicator slidably connected to the first section.

Abstract: A polymer useful as an inorganic pigment dispersant is provided. The polymer is derived from monomers consisting essentially of an ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomer, an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid monomer, and an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid monomer. The total amount of said ethylenically unsaturated acid monomers is sufficient to permit said polymer to associate with an inorganic pigment in an aqueous medium in a manner which disperses said inorganic pigment in said aqueous medium to form a stable aqueous dispersion of said inorganic pigment, and the amount of said ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomer is sufficient to reduce the water sensitivity of a dried coating of a latex paint comprised of said stable aqueous dispersion of said inorganic pigment. A process of preparing a polymer useful as an inorganic pigment dispersant and a method of preparing an inorganic pigment dispersion useful in the preparation of latex paints are also provided.
