Abstract
A compressor block and tube assembly is disclosed having spaced openings for the reception of the ends of tubes for admitting fluid to and from a compressor. Means are provided for interlocking the tubes to the block, whereby relative axial movement of the tubes in said openings is avoided. The tubes are provided with conical shoulders and beads for this purpose, and O-rings are interposed between the beads and the block to provide leak-proof seals between the tubes and block. The block is of such design as to facilitate production in mass quantities.
