ABSTRACT:
Difficulties in brazing or welding a fitting that may be utilized in a heat exchange system are avoided in a construction that includes a mounting block (100) including a formation (102) by which the block (100) may be mounted on another object such as a support (10). At least one aperture (108, 110) extends through the block (100) at a sleeve (112, 114), having opposed ends (122, 128; 158, 160) and an exterior surface (131, 155) sized to snuggly and slidably pass at least partially through the aperture (108, 110) and an interior surface (126, 150) defining a fluid passage. A pair of axially spaced grooves (140, 142; 152, 154) are in the exterior surface (131, 155) and are spaced a distance about equal to the thickness of the block (100) at the apertures (108, 110). A retaining ring (176, 178) may be located in one of the grooves (140, 152) and a retaining clip (170) is removably received in the other groove (142, 154) remote therefrom. As a consequence, the sleeve (112, 114) may be joined to tubing (34, 38) in a heat exchange system without subjecting the mounting block (100) to the bonding procedure.
