Abstract
A one-piece unitary frangible spike connector for insertion into solution containers includes a spike body formed with a closure on one end thereof and a tubing receptacle on the other end thereof. An internal conduit extends from the tubing receptacle through the spike body partially into the closure. The frangible spike connector is broken apart along a reduced diameter portion tapered or formed at an angle to form a spike connected to the conduit on the spike body when the closure is broken off the spike body.
