Connector for connecting a hose to a fluid path within a bore

A connector, for connecting a hose to a fluid handling device having a first bore defining a fluid path and a second bore, comprising:

• a connector housing having a first bore and second bore, said first bore of said connector housing defining a first and second entrance, said first entrance of said first bore of said connector housing communicating with said hose, said second entrance of said first bore of said connector housing communicating with said fluid path within said first bore of said fluid handling system;
• said connector housing further having a sleeve surrounding a protrusion extending from said connector housing, said protrusion having an enlarged diameter upset formed thereon for retaining said sleeve on said protrusion, said protrusion having a terminal end defining said second entrance of said first bore of said connector housing;
• and
• a retaining mechanism for retaining said connector housing to said fluid handling device, said retaining mechanism having a first end and a second end, wherein said retaining mechanism being retained to said second bore of said connector housing at said first end of said retaining mechanism and to said second bore of said fluid handling device at said second end of said retaining mechanism.

A connector, for connecting a hose to a fluid handling device having a first bore defining a fluid path and a second bore, comprising:

• a connector housing having a first bore, a second bore and a third bore;
• said first bore of said connector housing having an entrance and a terminal end, said second bore of said connector housing having an entrance and a terminal end, said third bore of said connector housing having an entrance, said terminal end of said first bore intersecting said terminal end of said second bore, said entrance of said first bore communicating with said hose, said entrance of said second bore of said connector housing communicating with said fluid path within said first bore of said fluid handling system;
• and
• a retaining mechanism for retaining said connector housing to said fluid handling device, said retaining mechanism having a first end and a second end, wherein said retaining mechanism being retained to said third bore of said connector housing at said first end of said retaining mechanism and to said second bore of said fluid handling device at said second end of said retaining mechanism, said retainer mechanism comprises a bolt and a retainer, said bolt being inserted through said retainer and secured to said third bore of said connector housing, said retainer being retained to said second bore of said fluid handling device, said bolt having an enlarged diameter head formed at one end of said bolt to prevent said retainer from sliding off said bolt and a slot defined at the other end of said bolt to allow said bolt to be removed from said connector housing.
