Abstract: A fluid line connector assembly includes a length of flexible tubing having a tubing end and a first fitting body received on the tubing end. A second is secured to the first fitting body, and at least one of the first fitting body and the second fitting body forms a fluid-tight connection with the tubing end. A third fitting body is rotatably supported on the second end fitting. A sealing member forms a fluid-tight seal between the second fitting body and the third fitting body. A method of assembling a fluid line connector assembly is also described.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering natural gas or liquid propane under pressure from a fixed gas pipe source to a gas appliance mounted on casters and movable to and away from the fixed gas pipe source. The apparatus includes a connector, a unitary valve assembly member and in some instances, swivels. The unitary valve assembly member is directly connected to the fixed gas pipe source and includes a ball valve, a check valve, a quick disconnect coupling and an operating device for manually positioning the ball valve in an open or closed position. One variation of the unitary valve assembly member incorporates an operating device which prevents the quick disconnect coupling from being disconnected with the ball valve in an open position. The unitary valve assembly member may further include a temperature sensitive device incorporated within the check valve such that at a predetermined temperature the check valve will close in order to prevent ignition of the gas supply at elevated temperatures.
