A locking apparatus for securing at least one component to an anchoring component piece includes an abutment plate for contact with the anchoring component piece and a plate contactor notch disposed on the abutment plate for contact with at least one component. In particular, the plate contactor notch includes a clutching surface for contact with at least one component. The locking apparatus further includes a slide aperture disposed on said abutment plate for facilitating attachment of the abutment plate to the anchoring component piece. The slide aperture, in turn, includes a slide aperture correction slot for facilitating resilient displacement of the abutment plate as well as includes a slide aperture mounting slot for receiving a mounting screw that attaches the abutment plate to the anchoring component piece. As such, the slide aperture mounting slot facilitates variable positioning of the abutment plate with respect to the anchoring component piece via a ratcheting motion between a receiving position and a locking position, thereby, ultimately, attaching at least one component piece to the anchoring component piece.

An inner flow passage is inserted within the hollow fiber membrane bundle and along a longitudinal axis thereof, wherein a total longitudinal length which the inner flow passage is inserted within the hollow fiber membrane bundle is shorter than a longitudinal length of the hollow fiber membrane bundle. The inner flow passage includes an inlet and an outlet through which the fluid passes. An end wall is located proximate the outlet. A protrusion is disposed at the end wall and opposite a flow direction of the fluid streaming within the inner flow passage. rotatably positioned within said valve chamber and defining a flow port for registry with said flow passage and having an external spherical sealing surface; (c) a valve stem being located for rotary movement within said valve stem passage and having driving relation with said valve ball for rotating said valve ball between open and closed positions within said valve chamber; (d) at least one valve seat being located within said valve chamber and having sealing engagement with said external spherical sealing surface of said valve ball; (e) a pair of trunnion support elements being located within said valve chamber and being moveable axially, perpendicularly and horizontally within said valve body to permit centering of said valve ball with respect to said at least one valve seat; and (f) a pair of flange type end members having bolted and sealed connection with said axial ends of said valve body, said end members and having flow-line connections. 22. The compact manifold ball valve of claim 21, comprising: (a) said opposed trunnion elements being integral with said valve ball; (b) annular bearing members establishing bearing engagement with said opposed trunnion elements; and (c) said pair of annular trunnion support elements being located within said valve chamber and receiving said annular bearing members in supported relation therein, said annular trunnion support elements having axial clearance with respect to said valve body and said valve ball and being capable of shifting within said valve body for maintaining centered relation of said valve ball with respect to said at least one valve seat. 23. The compact manifold ball valve of claim 21,
