Abstract

A fluid connection for a vehicle includes a duct extending from a compartment wall of the vehicle. The duct defines a first channel and a second channel each in fluid communication with a climate control system of the vehicle. A container is selectively coupled with the duct and defines a receptacle configured to receive the duct to provide fluid communication between an interior of the container and the climate control system. At least one first aperture and at least one second aperture are each formed on the duct. The at least one first aperture fluidly interposes the interior and the first channel and the at least one second aperture fluidly interposes the interior and the second channel when the container is coupled with the duct.
