Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flow block for use as a T-Block, tree block, manifold block or valve block, the method including: machining a main bore in a body; forming an opening in the body in a side wall of the main bore; providing an insert including a first bore intersecting with a second bore and being in fluid communication with each other; forming a substantially curved surface on at least part of the intersection between the first bore and the second bore; and inserting the insert into the opening, such that the first bore is substantially aligned with the main bore in order to provide a fluid flow path between the main bore and the second bore.

Abstract: The conduit body assembly includes a metallic conduit body having an open upper end and a metallic cover removably positionable over the upper end. A metallic threaded fastener secures the cover to the body. The metallic fastener includes a threaded post and a nut removably attached to one end of the post. The nut and the post are formed of similar non-corrosive materials so as to resist corrosion therebetween. The nut is removable from the post in an environment where corrosion between the metallic fastener and the conduit body and cover prevents removal of the threaded fastener therefrom. Removal of the nut from the threaded post permits removal of the cover from the conduit body.

Abstract: Coupling device for a fluid circuit in a motor vehicle, the device including: a functional member of a plastic material that is provided with two or more types of connection, at least one of which includes a manually-accessible member projecting from the outside surface of the functional member; and a protective metal housing formed by two shells joined by a seam around the functional member, the housing being provided with a window giving access to the manually-accessible member.

Abstract: A conduit connector device includes an open-ended sleeve with aligned openings through upper and lower walls of the sleeve for insertion of a fastener to secure the lower wall of the sleeve to a support. A cover member or bridge is inserted into the sleeve between two conduit ends to cover the opening in the upper wall after the lower wall is attached to the support, restricting access to the previously inserted fastener. The ends of two adjacent lengths of conduit to be connected are inserted into opposite ends of the sleeve to abut the opposite ends of the bridge, and the adjacent lengths of conduits are thereby attached to the support.

Abstract: A conduit array configured to route in-floor tubing includes a plurality of elbow conduits. A webbing is positioned between each of the elbow conduits in the plurality of elbow conduits to connect the plurality of elbow conduits. The webbing is configured to allow for separation of at least one of the plurality of elbow conduits from the conduit array, thus allowing for the conduit array to be scaleable or sizeable.

Abstract: A polygonal tube rack connector includes a lid and a carrier incorporated to each other by means of multiple fasteners; multiple non-linear grooves are disposed on the connector to accommodate mounting of multiple linear tubes; a limiting hole being disposed to each groove to facilitate fast and direct insertion of a stud from a tube to secure the tube in the groove without slipping off; and the tube can be easily removed by loosening up those fasteners for replacement.

Abstract: There is an object to provide a technique of forming a proper abrasion resistance layer by a thermal spraying and fusing of a self fluxing alloy. The object may be solved by cutting the pipe body along a curved face that is perpendicular to a plane including a central axis of the pipe body and that extends not to cross the inlet hole and the outlet hole but to include a part of the central axis. Thus the pipe body is divided into a first partitioned part having at least one of the inlet hole and the outlet hole, and a second partitioned part. An abrasion resistance layer is then formed on the inner surface of at least the outer bent portion of the pipe body by a thermal spraying and fusing of a self fluxing alloy. Thereafter, the first partitioned part is fitted into the second partitioned part for welding to obtain a bent pipe according to the present invention.

Abstract: A fluid coupling capable of indicating proper tightening includes a fitting body having a flared end with a back side. The fitting body also includes an indicator spaced a predetermined distance away from the back side. A threaded nut is positioned around the fitting body adjacent the flared end and includes a back end and a shoulder portion spaced away a predetermined distance therefrom. The shoulder portion is concentrically aligned with the back side of the flared end. The fluid fitting also includes a belleville washer(s) positioned around the fitting body adjacent the back side of the flared end, which is (are) compressed upon threading and torquing of the nut onto the threaded end of a male fitting. When a predetermined amount of torque has been applied to the nut, the indicator is visible adjacent the back end of the nut.

Abstract: A conduit elbow assembly includes a hollow conduit piece having an end with an outer diameter, a body and a cap. The body has a first connective end with an end bore at the first connective end receiving the hollow conduit piece therein. A male fitting is located at the first connective end, the male fitting having an outer surface and an end which extends into the end bore. The outer surface of the male fitting has barbs which engage and retain the end of the hollow conduit piece thereon. The cap is attached ton the body and has a plurality of tapered projections, of which two are diametrically opposed to each other relative to the outer diameter of the hollow conduit piece. The two tapered projections form a wedge fit with the outer diameter of the hollow conduit piece.
