Abstract
A porting member with a universal coupling mechanism comprises a connector which is fixed on a container opening and provided with a first fluid passage, and a port element which is rotatably supported on the connector and provided with a second fluid passage. The port element is clamped between opposed surfaces of the connector and the final position determined by interengagement of a spherical shaped surface and an edge ring formed on the opposed surfaces of the connector.
