Abstract
A container assembly includes a container bounding a chamber and having a floor. A well is mounted on the floor of the container. The well bounds a compartment that extends below the floor of the container and communicates with the chamber of the container. An anchor has a side wall with a first port opening formed at a first end and a second port opening formed on the side wall or at a second end of the anchor. A fluid passageway extends between the first port opening and the second port opening. At least a portion of the anchor is secured within the compartment of the well such that at least a portion of the second port opening is disposed within the compartment. A dip tube is fluid coupled with the first port opening of the anchor.
