A joint includes a first block, a second block, and a single pipe section connecting the first block and the second block. The first block, the second block, and the single pipe have a first gas passage and a second gas passage inside therein. The first gas passage is formed so that a first port which opens at an outer surface of the first block, the single pipe section, and a second port which opens at an outer surface of the second block communicate with each other. The second gas passage is formed so that a third port and a fourth port which open at the outer surface of the second block communicate with each other. The second port is disposed between the third port and the fourth port.

The fluid connector assembly includes a connector body with an intermediate portion that extends between opposite end portions and has a first bore. The connector body has an elongated wall that projects outwardly from the intermediate portion and that surrounds a second bore which opens to the first bore. A flat tube, which is made of a second material that is different than the first material and has at least one fluid passage, is in fluid communication with the second bore of the connector body. The flat tube has generally flat side walls and is lockingly retained with the connector body by male and female locking structures that cooperate with one another.

A casing for gas including a first channel section through which gas flows and a second channel section intersecting with the first channel section, the first channel section having an intersecting part that intersects with the second channel section, the intersecting part being formed to have a rounded quadrangular cross section and having a flat part, the second channel section intersecting with the first channel section to open at the flat part.

A fluid distribution apparatus and a fluid distribution module with choke are provided. The fluid distribution apparatus includes a first fluid conveying pipe, a second fluid conveying pipe, multiple fluid manifolds located between the first fluid conveying pipe and the second fluid conveying pipe and connected with the first fluid conveying pipe and the second fluid conveying pipe, an inlet disposed on a side of the first fluid conveying pipe and between both ends of the first fluid conveying pipe; and an outlet disposed on a side of the second fluid conveying pipe and set corresponding to a position where the inlet is set. The fluid is supplied from the inlet to the first fluid conveying pipe, and the fluid is conveyed to the fluid manifolds along the first fluid conveying pipe, and flows into the second fluid conveying pipe through the fluid manifolds and flows out from the outlet.

The second port is disposed between the third port and the fourth port.

A distribution assembly for brake fluid pressure lines employs a housing block having a cylindrical bore therethrough and a receiving detent disposed into the housing block about the cylindrical bore. The peripheral surface of the receiving detent comprises a first series of outwardly arcuately curved surfaces alternating with a second series of inwardly curved surfaces. A rigid male connecting member comprising an integral fluid conduit and positioning member is adapted to be selectively received and secured to the housing block at the receiving detent. The positioning member is disposed about the terminus of the fluid conduit, the peripheral surface thereof having a multi-lobular peripheral surface adapted to be secured within the receiving detent in a manner that will allow the fluid conduit to be selectively oriented with respect to the housing block and the cylindrical bore therethrough.
