Method for manufacturing a pipe, pipe and connection fitting assembly

1. A method for manufacturing a pipe comprising:

providing a second mechanical quick connection member;

wherein the second mechanical quick connection member has a second angular coding mechanism defining a second reference frame having an X-Y-Z axis;

wherein the second angular coding mechanism and the first angular coding mechanism cooperated to prohibit relative rotation along the X-axes of both the first reference frame and the second reference frame when the first mechanical quick connection member interlocks with the second mechanical quick connection member at a first predetermined reference angular position;

providing a bending machine comprising a third coding mechanism defining a third reference frame having an X-Y-Z axis, the third coding mechanism being adapted to cooperate with the second angular coding mechanism of the second mechanical quick connection member at a second predetermined reference angular position to prohibit relative rotation along the X-axes of both the third reference frame and the second reference frame;

fastening the second mechanical quick connection member to an end opening of a rectilinear hollow tubular body comprising two fluidly connected end openings;

positioning the rectilinear hollow tubular body in said bending machine so that the second angular coding mechanism cooperates with the third coding mechanism to prevent relative rotation along the X-axes of both the second reference frame of said rectilinear hollow tubular body and the third reference frame of said bending machine; and

bending the rectilinear hollow tubular body as a function of said angular reference position.

2. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of positioning the rectilinear hollow tubular body in the bending machine is carried out manually.

wherein the first angular coding mechanism comprises a pair of notches; and

wherein the second angular coding mechanism comprises a pair of insertion fingers configured to interlock with the pair of notches to prevent rotation of the second mechanical quick connection member about the X-axes of both the first reference frame and the second reference frame.

5. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 ;

wherein the angular coding mechanical of the first mechanical quick connection member comprises a first set of orientation elements spaced apart at a periphery of the first mechanical quick connection member;

wherein the angular coding mechanism of the second mechanical quick connection member comprises a second set of orientation elements spaced apart at a periphery of the second mechanical quick connection member; and

wherein the second set of orientation elements are complimentary to the first set of orientation elements and are configured to interlock with the first set of orientation elements to prevent rotation of the second mechanical quick connection member about the X-axes of both the first reference frame and the reference frame.

6. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

mounting the second mechanical quick connection member to a third mechanical quick connection member,

wherein the third mechanical quick connection member comprises a third angular coding mechanism having an X-Y-Z axis; and
