A heat exchanger assembly for a vehicle comprising at least one manifold
having walls defining a chamber for retaining fluid. A mounting device is
secured to the wall of the manifold. The mounting device includes a seat
portion adapted to receive a fluid transmission line. The mounting device
further includes an opening extending from the seat portion and aligned
with an aperture in the manifold for providing a fluid passageway between
the manifold and the fluid transmission line. In addition, the mounting
device includes at least one indentation formed therein for capturing
contaminates and preventing an intrusion of the contaminates into the seat
portion.
