  • Metal to plastic fluid connection with overmolded anti-rotation retainer
    Publication number: 20060152003
    Abstract: A fluid connection assembly (10) includes a metal tube (22) having a flared end and a plastic manifold (12) having a port (14). The port (14) includes an annular collar (16) and an annular recess (18) that receives a seal (20). The metal tube (22) is arranged over the port (14) and engages the seal (20). The flared end of the metal tube (22) abuts the annular collar (16) of the port (14) when the metal tube (22) is installed. A plastic retainer (28) is molded over the annular collar (16) of the port (14) and the flared end of the metal tube (22) to retain the metal tube (22) axially on the port (14) of the manifold (12). Alternately, the end (221) of the metal tube (222) is crimped to secure the metal tube (222) to the port (214) of the manifold (212).
