Abstract
An orientation clip (42) has an axially- and circumferentially-united attachment with a fuel injector (13) to orient the fuel injector circumferentially within a cup (32) on a fuel manifold (30). The clip has axially extending orientation tabs (46) that pass through open spaces provided by notches (56) in the rim of the cup to circumferentially locate the clip to the cup, and hence the fuel injector to the cup.
