Patent ID: 8795524

Claim:
A fluid treatment arrangement comprising: a fluid treatment assembly including an inlet fitting and an outlet fitting on opposite ends of the fluid treatment assembly; a manifold assembly including a feed fitting detachably mounted to a support and a filtrate fitting detachably mounted to the support; and an actuator assembly movable between a first position wherein the feed fitting and the filtrate fitting of the manifold assembly are respectively uncoupled from the inlet fitting and the outlet fitting of the fluid treatment assembly and a second position wherein the feed fitting and the filtrate fitting of the manifold assembly are respectively sealed to the inlet fitting and the outlet fitting of the fluid treatment assembly, wherein the feed fitting and the filtrate fitting of the manifold assembly engage the inlet fitting and the outlet fitting of the fluid treatment assembly by relative movement of the fittings in response to movement of the actuator assembly from the first position to the second position, wherein the feed fitting and the filtrate fitting of the manifold assembly disengage from the inlet fitting and the outlet fitting of the fluid treatment assembly by relative movement of the fittings in response to movement of the actuator assembly from the second position to the first position, and wherein the feed fitting and the filtrate fitting of the manifold assembly are axially locked in place on the support and are detachable from or attachable to the support by moving the fittings laterally from or to the support.
