Patent ID: 8337738

Claim:
A process to make a waterway connector having at least two arms and a central connector comprising the steps of: at least partially inserting one end of a first tube into a first split mold; inserting at least two first mold pins at least partially into the first mold, a first pin of the at least two first mold pins inserted into the one end of the first tube and a second pin inserted transverse to the direction of insertion of the first pin; injection overmolding a first geometry onto the one end of the first tube and forming a first profile for fluid transfer with the second pin of the at least two first mold pins and associated mold surfaces, the first profile having a first terminal lip; at least partially inserting one end of a second tube into a second split mold; inserting at least two second mold pins at least partially into the second mold, a first pin of the at least two second mold pins inserted into the one end of the second tube and a second pin inserted transverse to the direction of insertion of the first pin; injection overmolding a second geometry onto the one end of the second tube and forming a second profile for fluid transfer with the second pin of the at least two second mold pins and associated mold surfaces, the second profile having a second terminal lip; at least partially inserting the first profile and the second profile into a third split mold, the first and second terminal lips engaging a core; and injection overmolding a third geometry about the first and second terminal lips forming a leak-proof central connector.
