Connector System
A connector which couples to an outlet conduit to decrease an outlet conduit passageway pressure differential between outlet conduit opposing first and second ends, whereby the connector includes a mixing chamber having a first inlet port in fluidic communication with a connector first open end and the mixing chamber; an outlet port in fluidic communication with the mixing chamber and a connector second open end; and a second inlet port in fluidic communication with the connector second open end and the mixing chamber. Additionally, a connector including a connector internal surface defining a connector passageway which communicates between connector first and second open ends; and a sensor module operatively coupled to the connector passageway to sense a parameter of a first fluid flowing in a first fluid flow path through the connector passageway.

Oil drain receptacle attachment
An oil drain receptacle attachment, integrated system and method of use for providing a closed, clean catch system for the requisition of used motor oil for recycling. The oil drain attachment itself is positioned between a flexible drain tube and a collection receptacle where the reversibly attachable oil drain attachment allows for securing of the flexible tubing to an opening of the receptacle, in operation, that is capable of initiating and ceasing flow, through an ‘on’ and ‘off’ functionality, in addition to intermediate, partial opening and closing positions, as well as providing ventilation that facilitates the exit of air with the introduction of used oil into a collection receptacle for transportation and disposal.
No-crimp valve assembly
A no-crimp valve assembly employs a fitting which has an enlarged outer portion and a coaxial inner portion of reduced diameter. An axial groove is formed between the outer portion and the inner portion for receiving the end of a polymer pipe. A nut retainably receives a split ferrule. The split ferrule has a serrated inner surface. The nut is threaded to the outer threaded surface of the outer portion and the ferrule is compressed against the outer surface adjacent the end of the pipe to form a fluid tight connection and the inner surface of the pipe engages the reduced surface of the inner portion. In some embodiments, the inner portion carries one or more sealing rings or has a serrated or stepped inner surface which engages the inside surface of the pipe.
Multi-profile adapter assembly
A multi-profile adapter assembly is disclosed for connecting a pressurized fluid source to two or more different fittings. The adapter assembly includes an injector connector removably attachable to a hose connected to a pressurized fluid source and including an internal conduit for channeling a flow of pressurized fluid. An inner housing is connected to the injector connector and includes a channel leading to a second opening and a cavity configured to receive an access fitting on an AC system. A one way valve controls flow from the conduit in the injector connector into the inner housing. An adapter is connected to the inner housing and includes a first contour configured to engage with a first fitting and a second contour configured to engage with a second fitting. The inner housing and adapter are movable relative to one another for changing the location of the first contour and second contour.

Hydraulic Coupling Bush
A hydraulic coupling bush which is actuated in order to close or open the coupling includes a coupling housing and a bush body which displaceable therein and which has a plug space for receiving a coupling plug, a supply space for fluidic connection to an external supply channel, a low pressure space for fluidic connection to a pressure medium sink, and an interior space connected fluidically to the supply space, a supply seat valve device being provided, via the actuation of which a supply flow path can be configured between the supply space and the plug space, and a relief seat valve device being provided, via the mechanical actuation of which the interior space can be relieved of pressure toward the low pressure space, and via the hydraulic actuation of which, which is dependent on the pressure in the interior space, the pressure in the interior space can be limited.
Valve with movable shutter
A valve having a hollow body which extends along a main axis (X), in which at least one secondary body is arranged at one end of the hollow body substantially coaxial to the main axis (X) and has an inner end portion with a collar protruding towards the inner surface of the hollow body is disclosed. The hollow body has at least one annular groove in which a ring is arranged at least partially to prevent the movement of the secondary body towards the end of the hollow body, in which the ring is divided into at least two arcs configured to be inserted individually inside the groove of the hollow body to form the ring.
