Abstract
A cup-shaped member having cylindrical sides for coupling adjacent ends of headers of solar collectors of the liquid heat-exchange type, or a header to an associated manifold. The member has a cylindrical body and an orifice in the base through which liquid flows. Several arrangements for using the member to couple the headers together or to a manifold are disclosed.
