2133751 9322594 PCTABS00027 A coupling assembly having a flange (32), at least one tube (60) and a tube connector. The flange (32) has an outer surface (40) and at least one inner surface (42). The inner surface (42) defines at least one tube receiving opening (44). The inner surface also defines a flange groove (46). A tube connection hole (50) extends through the flange (32) from the outer surface (40) to the inner surface (42). The hole is in communication with the flange groove (46). The tube (60) has an exterior surface (62). A groove (64) is defined by the exterior surface. The tube is inserted in the tube receiving opening (52) of the flange. The tube groove (64) is aligned with the flange groove (46). A tube connector, such as wire (70), is inserted in the tube connector hole (50). The tube connector mates the flange groove (46) and the tube groove (64). This engagement retains the tube (60) in the flange (32) and also allows for movement within the flange.
