The invention is a method for joining two components of a fluid system. The method involves forming a first flange (130, 230, 330, 430, 530) on a first fluid component (100, 200, 300, 400) and placing the first flange in an abutting relationship with a second flange (531, 537, 535, 533, 539) that is formed on a second fluid component. The abutting relationship may be such th at conduit portions of the fluid components are axially aligned. The flanges ma y then be bonded together such that the bond encircles the conduits and preven ts fluid from entering or exiting the system from the bond. A bond of this type also places the first and second components in fluid communication. The flui d system may be incorporated into a sole structure (82) of an article of footwear (80).
