Abstract
There are disclosed apparatus including fluid distribution junctions and methods of assembly therefor. Flexible conduits connect to the junctions, and a consumable subsystem of the junction, conduits and receptacle caps or other connectors may be pre-assembled for ease of use. A subassembly is formed by coupling a plurality of flexible tubular conduits to a plurality of fluid connectors of a fluid junction, the fluid junction having an inner fluid plenum chamber leading to the fluid connectors. Two shells are sandwiched on opposite sides of the subassembly, the shells having mating concave receiving surfaces that together conform around each of the fluid connectors and clamp the tubular conduits onto the circular beads. Juxtaposed joint surfaces on each pair of mating concave receiving surfaces are bonded together such as with sonic welding to make the fluid distribution junction assembly.
