ABSTRACT:
A universal coupling adapter is disclosed for attachment to the fluid reservoir of an engine, transmission unit, or other hydraulic system in place of a standard spin-on fluid filter. The coupling adapter consists of a disk-shaped body having a first end surface provided with a plurality of concentric ridges intersticed with concentric grooves. A centrally-located threaded bore extends into the disk-shaped body from the first end surface. A cylindrically-shaped cavity located between the innermost concentric ridge and the centrally-threaded bore extends partially into the disk-shaped body from the first end surface. An inlet port, with passageway interconnected with the centrally-located bore, and an outlet port, with passageway interconnected with the cylindrically-shaped cavity, extend from the second end surface of the disk-shaped body. The concentric grooves are adapted for receiving O-rings to assure a fluid-tight seal between the first end surface of the adapter and the outlet surface of the fluid reservoir. The outlet and inlet ports allow fluid from the reservoir to be conveyed to a remotely-located fluid circulation device, such as a fluid filter, cooler, or both, and then returned to the reservoir.
