Patent attributes
A sampling point assembly for an aspirating particle detection system includes a sampling point body having a bore running from an inlet at a first end of the bore to an outlet at a second end of the bore, the inlet being configured to be maintained in fluid communication with a volume being sampled to receive an air sample therethrough, and the outlet being configured to be coupled to a conduit such that the air sample can pass through the central bore to the conduit. A fastening mechanism includes at least one surface adjacent the inlet and arranged in use to support the sampling point assembly on a first side of a mounting structure, and at least one fastening actuator for holding the surface against the mounting structure from the first side. A cap conceals the fastening mechanism and inlet from view from the first side of the mounting structure.
