PLURAL VALVED TUBE FITTING

摘要

PLURAL VALVED TUBE FITTING This disclosure deals with apparatus for and a method of testing a plurality of hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems. Each such system has a hose connected in it and the hose terminates in a valved fitting. All of the fittings are releasably attached to a subassembly which in turn is attached to a manifold. When the systems are to be tested, a test fixture is attached to the manifold, such attachment automatically opening the valved fittings. The test fixture also includes valved fittings identical with those connected in the systems. All of the fittings are opened by attachment of the test fixture,and the appropriate tests are then carried out. When the systems are not being tested, the test fixture is removed and a protective cover is applied to the manifold in place of the fixture.
