An electric clip, such as may be utilized with a leak detector, has a base which receives an insert to secure an inserted material, such as a mesh, there between. The insert has an arm with opposing hooks which pass through a first slot in a biased manner and then spring out once through to provide an assembled configuration. The clip can be secured to the material, such as by directing fingers through a second slot in a biased manner which then return once through to retain on a ledge.

Embodiments of a multi-port multi-plane valve are provided. The multi-port multi-plane valve includes a housing which defines an internal cavity. The housing further includes a plurality of ports in which each port lies within one of two planes that are normal to each other. Each of the plurality of ports is in communication with the internal cavity. A shell body is rotatably disposed within the internal cavity and provides selectable fluid communications between the ports. A seal member is also provided which has a plurality of openings and surrounds the shell body. At least one flow enhancer channel may be included to reduce the pressure drop occurring on one side of the valve when controlling flow paths on the other side of the valve.
