Abstract
An adapter is used to mount the cylinder to a fluid channel. The adapter is formed of a unitary wall including a first portion adapted to mount to the fluid channel, a second portion adapted to be engaged with a tool extending from the first portion, and a third portion extending from the second portion and seated within an inlet passageway of the cylinder. The third portion includes locking features for locking the adapter to the cylinder, and a sealing feature for sealing the adapter to the cylinder. The sealing feature is distal to the second portion such that when a torque is applied to the adapter, the sealing feature does not cause the adapter to shear. The cylinder and fluid channel may be capable of being swiveled relative to each other around the adapter, such swiveling may be up to 360 degrees and may be 360 degrees.
