Abstract

See full text

A connector has a first member with a distal portion non-removably coupled to a proximal portion of a second member. Respective through passages at the first and second members are in alignment to establish a through channel longitudinally along the connector. A seal in the connector prevents fluid leakage from the connector. A conventional fitting may be provided at one of the ends and a non-conventional fitting may be provided at the other end of the connector so that the connector may connect a device with a conventional fitting to a device with a non-conventional fitting. Once connected to the connector, the device with the conventional fitting is not removable from the connector. The first and second members are rotatable relative to each other about the longitudinal axis of the connector to enable rotational alignment of devices connected to the connector.
