Clip assembly with reversible attachment module

A method of utilizing a clip assembly, the method comprising:

• determining a desired orientation of a frame relative to an attachment module;
• attaching the attachment module to the frame in the desired orientation to form the clip assembly, wherein the frame includes a module attachment portion having a rail that is accepted within a groove of a base portion of the attachment module when forming the clip assembly;
• securing the clip assembly relative to a vehicle body, wherein the frame includes a frame attachment portion configured to engage the vehicle body;
• and
• securing conduits to the clip assembly, wherein the frame includes at least one conduit retainer for securing a corresponding conduit and attachment module includes a first conduit retention passage configured to accept a first conduit and a second conduit retention passage configured to accept a second conduit when a retainer pivotably attached to the base portion is moved from an open position to a closed position.

A vehicle system comprising:

• a vehicle body supported by a plurality of wheels;
• a plurality of fluid conduits fixed relative to the vehicle body with a clip assembly,
• wherein the clip assembly includes:
• a frame including:
• a conduit attachment portion having at least one conduit retainer;
• a module attachment portion having at least one module retainer;
• and
• a frame attachment portion configured to attach the frame to a body;
• and
• an attachment module removably attachable to the module attachment portion between a first orientation and a second orientation opposite the first orientation, wherein the attachment module includes:
• a base portion including a guide configured to be removably attached to the module attachment portion on the frame in either the first orientation or the second orientation;
• and
• a retainer portion pivotably connected to the base portion and moveable between an open position and a closed position fixed relative to the base portion, wherein the base portion and the retainer portion at least partially define a first conduit retention passage and a second conduit retention passage when in the closed position.
