Abstract: A fluid module configured to be connected to an aircraft, comprising a manifold configured to direct fluid flow from an inlet to an outlet, the outlet configured to be connected to a hydraulic system of the aircraft and the inlet configured to be connected to a ground source of fluid, the manifold comprising a filter port adapted to receive a filter port; the first inlet in fluid communication with the filter port; and the outlet in fluid communication with the filter port. A method of utilizing the fluid module to provide fluid from the ground fluid source to the filter unit; filtering the fluid via the filter unit; and providing the filtered fluid from the outlet to one or more components, a reservoir of the aircraft, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates a quick disconnect coupling assembly having a collar inserted through an internal valve seat to be joined to a valve member and form a seal with the internal valve seat. The assembly having a valve guide positioned within the flow passage, a valve member supported by the valve guide within the valve housing, and a collar mounted to a valve head of the valve member.
