Interference connection between a fluid and a fluid injector

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Interference Connection Between A Fluid Line And A Fluid Injector, Conventional joints between a fluid line and a body of a fluid injector are typically threaded or brazed. Such threaded joints are sometimes too bulky for certain engine compartments of limited space and such brazed joints are sometimes difficult to make with repeatable high quality. The present invention provides a relatively compact and inexpensive sealed joint for a fluid injector which includes a housing, a body and a fluid, line. The sealed joint is solely formed by an interference fit directly between an end portion of the fluid line and both the housing and an end portion of the body.
