Patent ID: 8870834

Claim:
A flow control device which includes a connector comprising a one-piece housing defining a passage and a web extending transversely into the passage to define a first receiving formation for receiving a first conduit and a second receiving formation for receiving a second conduit, the first receiving formation and the second receiving formation being separated by the web, the housing, including the web, being of a resiliently flexible material; and an orifice plate received in the web to control flow of fluid, in use, through the conduits received in the first and the second receiving formations of the connector, the orifice plate defining at least one substantially frustoconical orifice, each receiving formation being configured so that, in use, an end of each conduit butts against the web so that there is chamberless communication between the conduits and the at least one orifice, and the orifice plate being of a rigid material so that, by lateral deformation of the housing, priming ports open in the web alongside the orifice plate for priming purposes.
