Patent ID: 7748750

Claim:
A fitting for collecting and distributing pressurized fluid via fluid transmission lines, comprising: a body; a plurality of channels formed in the body in a common plane, the plurality of channels traversing the body and intersecting inside the body, the plurality of channels being in mutual fluid communication; first and second compression members positioned on opposing sides of the body with respect to a first axis perpendicular to the common plane; a first compression prominence protruding from the first compression member and aligned with the intersection of the plurality of channels along the first axis, the first compression prominence contacting a first outer surface of the body; a second compression prominence protruding from the second compression member and aligned with the intersection of the plurality of channels along the first axis, the second compression prominence contacting a second outer surface of the body, opposed to the first surface; at least a first biasing member laterally spaced from the first and second compression prominences in a first direction, the first biasing member configured to bias the first and second compression members toward each other; and at least a second biasing member laterally spaced from the first and second compression prominences in a second direction, the second biasing member configured to bias the first and second compression members toward each other.
