Flexible tubing management system for pharmaceutical, bioprocess applications, and food/dairy applications

A method of managing flexible conduit or tubing used in pharmaceutical, bioprocess, or food/dairy applications, the method comprising:

• connecting at least two conduit tracks with a connector, each conduit track including an open conduit channel disposed on a first side thereof and extending along the length of each respective conduit track and dimensioned to receive a segment of flexible silicone or polymer conduit or tubing therein, each conduit track further including a connector channel disposed on a second side thereof and extending along the length of each respective conduit track, at least a portion of the connector being inserted in the connector channels of the at least two conduit tracks;
• inserting a segment of flexible silicone or polymer conduit or tubing into the open conduit channel of at least one of the connected conduit tracks;
• and
• coupling a first mating structure of the connector to a second mating structure of a valve body or valve assembly.

A method of managing flexible conduit or tubing used in a pharmaceutical, bioprocess, or food/dairy applications, the method comprising:

• inserting a segment of a first flexible conduit or tubing into a conduit channel of a first conduit track;
• inserting a segment of a second flexible conduit or tubing into a conduit channel of a second conduit track;
• coupling the first conduit track and the second conduit track to a valve body or valve assembly;
• inserting a portion of a connector into at least one of the first conduit track or the second conduit track;
• and
• coupling a connector to the valve body or valve assembly;
• wherein the valve assembly includes a mounting channel configured to receive a portion of the connector to couple the connector and the first and second conduit tracks to the valve body or valve assembly.
