Abstract
A multi-profile adapter assembly is disclosed for connecting a pressurized fluid source to two or more different fittings. The adapter assembly includes an injector connector removably attachable to a hose connected to a pressurized fluid source and including an internal conduit for channeling a flow of pressurized fluid. An inner housing is connected to the injector connector and includes a channel leading to a second opening and a cavity configured to receive an access fitting on an AC system. A one way valve controls flow from the conduit in the injector connector into the inner housing. An adapter is connected to the inner housing and includes a first contour configured to engage with a first fitting and a second contour configured to engage with a second fitting. The inner housing and adapter are movable relative to one another for changing the location of the first contour and second contour.
