Abstract

A fluid connector assembly comprises an outer fastener and an inner fastener. The outer fastener is comprised of a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of radially extending members on the top surface. The inner fastener is provided comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of radially extending projections. The radially extending projections are dimensioned to be received by the radially extending members when the inner fastener is assembled with the outer fastener. A connector is disposed in the inner fastener, wherein the connector may be externally threaded so as to receive a fluid supply line that is internally threaded. The radially extending projections of the inner fastener may be flexible.

Description

[0001] Related Patent Applications [0002] This disclosure claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 823,048, entitled "CLICK-SEALTORQUELIMITING CONNECTORDESIGNS," filed May 14, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety . technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to fluid connectors. Background technique [0004] A common problem with standard fluid connectors is that they can be overtightened. Overtightening of connectors has caused a number of problems, including damage to the connector itself, damage to the surface of the object to which the connector is attached when overtightening, and damage to components positioned within the connector. These problems are especially common with plumbing connectors, such as when connecting water supply lines to toilet tanks, fill valves, etc. [0005] Instead, it is desirable that the screws on the fluid connectors not be overtightened, while still being easy to unscrew. It is a...
