Patent ID: 8333214

Claim:
A fluid flow system, comprising: a manifold defining a chamber therewithin and having first and second ports formed through a side of the manifold and positioned generally adjacent one another, the ports each having an engagement surface comprising a wall having a non-circular port geometric shape as viewed along an axis of the port; a plurality of adapters, each adapter having a port engagement region, an attachment engagement region, and an elongate passage extending from the port engagement region to the attachment engagement region, each port engagement region having a non-circular adapter geometric shape as viewed along an axis of the adapter; wherein the adapter geometric shape is sized generally complementary to the port engagement shape so that the adapter engagement region can be inserted into the port when the port engagement region and adapter engagement surface are aligned; and wherein when the adapter engagement region is engaged with the port engagement surface, the port and adapter geometric shapes are engaged so as to prevent rotation relative to one another; and a locking system configured to releasably lock the adapter port engagement region in engagement with the port engagement surface.
