Claim 17:
18. A terminal unit of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a housing;
a heat exchanger disposed within the housing and comprising a coil configured to direct a working fluid therethrough and place the working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with an air flow directed through the housing; and
a valve package configured to fluidly couple to the coil of the heat exchanger, wherein the valve package is configured to direct the working fluid therethrough, the valve package comprises a first conduit segment, a second conduit segment, and an adjustable fitting coupling the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment to one another, and the adjustable fitting is configured to enable the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment to transition between a first spatial configuration and a second spatial configuration and establish a fluid seal between the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment in each of the first spatial configuration and the second spatial configuration, wherein the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment are configured to direct the working fluid out of the coil of the heat exchanger in the first spatial configuration, and the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment are configured to direct the working fluid into the coil of the heat exchanger in the second spatial configuration.
