A fluid distribution device (10), comprising:
- a manifold (100) having an intake port (110), an interior space (120) downstream of the intake port, and a plurality of recessed outlet ports (130) downstream of the interior space wherein each recessed outlet port of the plurality of recessed outlet ports includes:
- a primary hole (131) extending through a manifold sidewall (140), said primary hole having a primary hole diameter (132);
- a threaded secondary hole (133) originating from a manifold sidewall outer surface (141), said secondary hole having a depth which is less than a manifold sidewall thickness (142), a secondary hole diameter (134) which is greater than the primary hole diameter, and a secondary hole lip (135);
- a sleeve (136) extending from the secondary hole lip, said sleeve having a sleeve bulbous region (137);
- a plurality of tubes (200) with each tube of the plurality of tubes having a first end (210) comprising a tube bulbous region (215) configured to mate with the sleeve bulbous region;
- a plurality of fittings (300) with each fitting of the plurality of fittings configured to connect a tube of the plurality of tubes to a recessed outlet port of the plurality of recessed outlet ports, each fitting of the plurality of fittings comprising:
- a fitting sidewall (310);
- a through hole (320) extending from a fitting first end (311) through a fitting second end (312);
- and
- a threaded outer surface (315) originating from the fitting first end and terminating before the fitting second end, said threaded outer surface configured to mate with the threaded secondary hole;
- and
- a support block (400) comprising:
- an upper section (410) having an upper section outer surface (411), an upper section inner surface (412) opposite the upper section outer surface, and a plurality of upper section grooves (414) in the upper section inner surface with each upper section groove of the plurality of upper section grooves configured to a first longitudinal portion of an exterior profile of one tube and one fitting of the plurality of tubes and the plurality of fittings;
- a lower section (420) having a lower section outer surface (421), a lower section inner surface (422) opposite the lower section outer surface, and a plurality of lower section grooves (424) in the lower section inner surface with each lower section groove of the plurality of lower section grooves configured to a second longitudinal portion of an exterior profile of one tube and one fitting of the plurality of tubes and the plurality of fittings;
- at least one fastener (430) configured to securely connect the upper section to the lower section;
- and
- an attachment mechanism (440) configured to connect the support block to the manifold sidewall outer surface.
