Abstract
The use of liquid chemical containers in closed chemical applicator systems is made more secure, safe, convenient and cost effective by a fitting which combines a quick connect-disconnect coupler and a vent/fill tube in a single, protected assembly. The fitting eliminates the need for other openings in the containers and renders the containers returnable to distribution points for refill and/or cleaning, thereby avoiding operator contact with the chemical during transfer and minimizing unauthorized access.
