1. A connection assembly configured for being coupled to a plate and comprising:
a flange crossed through by at least two internal orifices, each of which is centered on an orifice axis, the orifice axes being parallel to each other, the flange comprising a front surface oriented forward in a longitudinal direction parallel to the orifice axes and a rear surface oriented backward, the front and rear surfaces being parallel to a transverse plane, which is transverse to the orifice axes,
a cover configured for being attached to a support in a mounted configuration of the connection assembly, the support including piping outlets, each piping outlet being associated with a corresponding internal orifice,
wherein:
in the mounted configuration of the connection assembly, the rear surface of the flange is situated opposite a front face of the support along the longitudinal direction, while the front surface of the flange is situated opposite a rear surface of the cover along the longitudinal direction,
each internal orifice comprises a rear opening, which comes out to the rear surface of the flange and is in fluidic communication with the corresponding piping outlet,
the connection assembly further comprises:
first gaskets, which, in the mounted configuration of the connection assembly, are interposed between the rear surface of the flange and the front face of the opposite support, each first gasket surrounding a corresponding piping outlet and the associated rear opening,
at least two fluidic coupling elements, each fluidic coupling element comprising a male body crossed by an internal piping therethrough, each male body comprising a tubular front portion and a rear portion,
each rear portion is received in a corresponding internal orifice of the flange, whereas each tubular front portion extends over the front of the flange through an opening of the cover, each male body being configured for abutting on the front against the flange,
each tubular front portion is configured for being coupled to a matching fluidic coupling element belonging to the plate,
the internal piping of each male body is in permanent fluidic communication with the rear opening of the corresponding internal orifice,
in the mounted configuration of the connection assembly, the flange can be moved with respect to the cover only in a movement supported by the transverse plane,
for each male body, the connection assembly comprises a second gasket which is interposed radially between each male body and an internal radial surface of the corresponding internal orifice,
each male body is mounted in the corresponding internal orifice and can be tilted with respect to the corresponding orifice axis.
