A hydraulic component for braking systems and/or clutch drives may have at least one connector and an eyelet. The component may also have an inlet plug that brings fluid into the block. The component may also have at least one upper seal interposed between an upper surface of the eyelet and a head of the inlet plug. The component may also have at least one bottom seal interposed between a lower surface of the eyelet and a base of the block. Between at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the eyelet and the corresponding head or base a protuberance is interposed, so that in the absence of the corresponding seal, the protuberance creates an interspace allowing the leakage of fluid.

A connection device for vehicle hydraulic systems having a receiver block is provided, which has one or more connection holes; at least one orientable connector which has an input and/or output section and a connection end; and a fixing plate configured to fix the orientable connector to the receiver block. Where the orientable connector has a head provided with orientation means arranged between the input and/or output section and the connection end; and where the fixing plate has complementary orientation means configured to fit with the orientation means of the head to fix an orientation position (P.sub.3) of the orientable connector, the head being arranged between the fixing plate and the receiver block.

A fluid connection apparatus, in which a carrier body and washer configuration are overmolded together, is configured for use in a fluid transfer assembly. The carrier body may be generally U-shaped, having two substantially parallel portions connected by a bridging portion. Each substantially parallel portion of the fluid connection apparatus includes a washer configuration including one or more washers. The fluid connection apparatus may be used to connect a fluid line fitting to an apparatus intended to provide or receive fluid through the fluid line, using a connector having a fluid passage formed therein. The fluid line fitting is placed between the two substantially parallel portions, and a connector having a fluid passage formed therein is inserted through one side of the fluid connection apparatus, through the fluid line fitting, and through the other side of the fluid connection apparatus. The fluid connection apparatus may include stabilizing features, such as ribs in the bridging portion or enlarged radii, to protect against distortion and breakage.

An anti-rotation banjo connection comprising a banjo plate attached to a pipe at its own first end edge and including an opening configured to receive a bolt, the bolt being configured to be screwed into a port of a hydraulic component, wherein a second end edge of the banjo plate, opposite to the first end edge, is provided with a positioning notch configured to partially surround a stopping fastener when the bolt is screwed into the port, whereby an edge wall delimiting the positioning notch is configured to interfere with the stopping fastener preventing the banjo plate from rotating about the bolt.

A self-sealing fill nipple for a pressure regulator having a fill port, includes a body having a first end having a quick connect fitting, a mid-body region and a threaded region for threadedly engaging the pressure regulator at the fill port. The threaded region extends from about an end of the body toward the mid-body region and is spaced therefrom by a gap. The threaded region has crest and root diameters. The mid-body region includes a tightening element proximal the quick connect fitting and a gap between the tightening element and the threaded region. The gap has a diameter equal to or less than the threaded region root diameter. A combination of a pressure regulator and a self-sealing fill nipple are also disclosed.

A sealing device for banjo fittings including a sealing ring, a gasket and one or more straps attaching the sealing ring to the gasket.

An elbow screw joint system for screw-connecting and rerouting elongate shaped parts includes a guiding body, an insert and a cover. The insert has a guiding section rotatably arranged at least partially inside the guiding body. The guiding body has a guiding recess and an outlet recess. The guiding recess has a guiding axis and extends along the guiding axis from a receiving side to an opposite head side. The outlet recess has an outlet axis and extends from an outlet side, along the outlet axis, to the guiding recess. Also, the guiding axis and the outlet axis are at an angle relative to one another. The guiding section has a screw thread at an upper end region which is associated with the head side of the guiding body, and the cover is screw-connected, from the head side, to the screw thread of the guiding section.

A sealing device for banjo fittings. The sealing device comprising a sealing ring, a gasket and one or more straps. The one or more straps attaching the sealing ring to the gasket.
