COUPLING FOR FLUID BLADDER

摘要

A coupler (510) for a fluid system includes: a coupling device made of an inflexible polymeric material, the coupling device including a body (502) defining a fluid passage therethrough that is connected to an aperture (504) sized to receive a mating coupling device, the coupling device including a latch configured to move between an uncoupled state and a coupled state to couple the mating coupling device thereto; and a base (660) made of a flexible polymeric material, the base including a flange member (602) sized to be coupled to a bladder of the fluid hydration system, and the base including a receiving member sized to receive at least a portion of the coupling device. The base is overmolded over the coupling device to form the coupler, the coupler being fluid-tight.
