Abstract:
Conduit connectors for liquid manifolds and methods of fabrication are provided. In one embodiment, a conduit connector is recessed, at least in part, within a liquid manifold, and includes a conduit-receiving opening or socket and at least one releasable retention component. The conduit-receiving opening is disposed within the liquid manifold and in fluid communication with at least one liquid-carrying channel of the liquid manifold. The releasable retention component(s) is selectively operative to threadlessly secure in a fluid-tight manner a conduit within the conduit-receiving opening in fluid communication with the at least one liquid-carrying channel of the liquid manifold to facilitate flow of liquid through the liquid-carrying channel(s), or to release the conduit from the conduit-receiving opening of the conduit connector. The releasable retention component(s) resides at least partially within the liquid manifold when operatively holding the conduit within the conduit-receiving opening.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the conduit connector comprises multiple releasable retention arms selectively operative to threadlessly secure the conduit within the conduit-receiving opening in fluid communication with the at least one liquid-carrying channel of the liquid manifold to facilitate flow of liquid therethrough, the multiple releasable retention arms comprising the at least one releasable retention arm, wherein the multiple releasable retention arms reside at least partially within the liquid manifold when operatively threadlessly securing the conduit within the conduit-receiving opening.
