Abstract
Plumbing assembly to route plumbing between two chambers such as between two compartments of a piece of machinery or equipment. The plumbing assembly comprises a plumbing component, a plate member through which the plumbing component is routed, and a fastener for securing the plumbing component. The plumbing component has an outer cross-sectional shape, and the plumbing component can have two portions, one portion being angled or curved from the other. Examples of plumbing components that can be used with the plumbing assembly of the invention are pipes, hoses, and tubes for conveying fluids, either liquid or gas. The plate member has a hole defined therethrough to receive the plumbing component. The hole is shaped to engage the outer cross-section of the plumbing component to prevent rotation of the plumbing component within the hole. The fastener prevents axial movement of the plumbing component within the hole.
