Port block assembly for interconnecting a fluid container with a fluid conduit

摘要

A port block assembly for interconnecting a fluid container with a fluid conduit includes a body which has a port and which is attachable to the container with the port in flow communication with the container interior. The assembly also includes a rigid, tubular insert which is engageable within the body port and to which the fluid conduit can be attached. A secure and rugged interconnection between the container and the conduit results. When the container and conduit are fabricated from dissimilar materials, the body of the assembly is fabricated from the same materal as the container, and the associated insert is fabricated from the same material as the conduit and adapted for an interference or friction fit within the body port. The same secure and rugged interconnection between the container and conduit is achieved, despite the presence of dissimilar materials.
