Adduction assembly with a “T” joint for an air conditioning circuit
First Claim
1. A coolant adducting assembly for the climate control system of a vehicle,characterized in that it includes a joint and a pipe connected to said joint, wherein said pipe and joint comprise a thermoplastic material and said joint includes an insert made of a more rigid material than said thermoplastic material and having an anchoring portion co-moulded into said joint and a connecting portion exiting said joint and suitable for being firmly connected to a device, and a seal ring surrounding said insert,whereas said joint includes a body of said thermoplastic material and that said body defines a seat for said seal ring;
- and said seat is downstream of a point where a first leakage path running along an interface between said anchoring portion and said body up to an abutment of said body and a second leakage path running from a head of said connecting portion to said seal ring meet;
wherein said connection portion is threaded and a pressure sensor compresses said seal ring when screwed on said connection portion.
