Fluid connection assembly
A fluid connection assembly, including a service valve body, including a first section forming a first port and a second port, a second section connected to the first section and forming a third port, a connector body forming a fourth port and including a first end connected to the first section, a second end, a first radially outward facing surface including an annular groove, and a first radially inward facing surface.
1. A fluid connection assembly, comprising:
a service valve body, including:
a first section forming a first port and a second port;
a second section connected to the first section and forming a third port;
a connector body forming a fourth port and comprising:
a first end connected to the first section;
a second end;
a first radially outward facing surface comprising an annular groove; and
a first radially inward facing surface; and
a retainer, including:
a third end operatively arranged to be removably connectable to the connector body;
a fourth end;
a third section;
a fourth section displaceable with respect to the third section;
a second radially inward facing surface comprising:
a first flange extending radially inward proximate the third end and operatively arranged to engage the annular groove; and
a second flange extending radially inward proximate the fourth end; and
a second radially outward facing surface.
2. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first radially inward facing surface comprises at least one annual groove.
3. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 2 , wherein the at least one annular groove comprises:
a first annular groove; and
a second annular groove spaced apart in an axial direction from the first annular groove.
4. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 2 , wherein a seal is arranged in the at least one annular groove.
5. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a flange fixedly secured to the first section proximate the second port.
6. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 5 , wherein
the flange comprises a through-hole spaced apart from the second port.
7. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein:
the first port and the second port are concentrically aligned; and/or
the third port and the fourth port are concentrically aligned.
8. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the second section and the connector body are arranged perpendicular to the first section.
9. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first section and the second section comprises radially outward facing threading.
10. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein:
the first flange comprises a first diameter;
the second flange comprises a second diameter; and
the first diameter is greater than the second diameter.
11. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a tube including a shoulder, wherein the second flange is operatively arranged to engage the shoulder to secure the tube in the connector body.
12. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 11 , wherein the shoulder resides completely outside of the connector body when the tube is secured to the connector body.
13. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 11 , wherein the shoulder engages the second end when the tube is secured to the connector body.
14. The fluid connection assembly as recited in claim 11 , wherein the shoulder abuts against the second end when the tube is secured to the connector body.
