Patent attributes
An adaptive manifold includes first and second halves of a manifold body, connected via a hinge, with at last two openings, where the haves are closeable to receive and retain at least two different conduits into the at least two openings. Each of the openings in the manifold are uniformly sized and has a plurality of arcuate retention ribs. Each of the openings are configured to receive a sizing adapter, each sizing adapter having a plurality of securing ribs having an inside and outside surface, such that the outside surface of the securing ribs of the sizing adapters are uniformly sized, arcuate, and adapted to be interfit between the retention ribs of the opening. The inside surfaces of the securing ribs are arcuate and dimensioned to fit into a corrugation of a conduit, so that when the manifold is closed, the conduits are engaged with the inside surfaces of the sizing adapters retaining the conduits within the openings of the manifold.
