Abstract
A gas turbine engine fuel injection assembly includes a combustor case surrounding a combustor having a dome. An arcuate manifold is disposed inside the combustor case adjacent to the dome, and includes a plurality of fuel injectors disposed in flow communication therewith for receiving fuel for injection into the combustor. An inlet stem is joined in flow communication with the manifold for channeling fuel thereto, and includes an inner fitting disposed in a mounting port in the combustor case. A mounting adaptor is joined to the combustor case at the mounting port, and circumferentially engages the inner fitting to restrain torsional movement thereof. An outer fitting extends in the adaptor and engages the inner fitting in flow communication therewith for supplying fuel thereto.
