Abstract:
A connector for a heater and compounds of the heater comprising:a gas bottle; a gas line; a regulator mounted to said gas bottle; a first coupling half having a first end connected to the gas line and having a second end including a smooth surface; a second coupling half having a first end in fluid communication with the regulator and a second end including a smooth surface connected to said second end of said first coupling half for selective rotational movement of said second coupling half about said second end of said first coupling half; at least one seal positioned between said second end of said first coupling half and said second end of said second coupling half; and said first end of said second coupling half includes threads connected to said regulator, wherein the selective rotational movement results in continued sealing engagement between said first and second coupling halves, and wherein rotation of said bottle allows for and results in the selective rotational movement.
