Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012032297A1] An assembly comprising a first fluid flow control device (27) coupled to a second fluid flow control device (25). The first fluid flow control device has a body with a first fluid passage and the second fluid flow control device has a body with a second fluid passage, the first and second fluid passages being in fluid communication to form a first fluid path. The first and second fluid flow control devices are coupled together by means of a rotary coupling comprising a first coupling part and a second coupling part defining mutually co-operating guide surfaces for supporting relative rotation of the first and second fluid flow control devices. The first coupling part (56) is provided by the first fluid control device is penetrated by at least part of the first fluid passage. The second coupling part connected to one of the first and second fluid flow control devices and comprises a releasable clamping member (28) for movement between a first position in which the first and second fluid flow control devices are rotatable relative to one another about a rotational axis and a second position in which it clamps against a clamping surface of the other of the first and second fluid flow control devices so as to clamp the devices against relative rotation in at least one selected position.
