Claim 0:
1. A fluid delivery system comprising:
a body defining a cavity therein, the cavity having a cylindrical configuration with a delivery opening at a proximal end and an open distal end, the cavity defining a seat surface that extends radially inwardly into the cavity adjacent to the delivery opening and a threaded portion adjacent to the open distal end;
a catheter connection assembly disposed within the cavity and configured to couple a catheter to the body, the catheter connection assembly comprising:
a washer configured to abut the seat surface;
a gasket;
an engagement tip disposed on an opposite side of the gasket from the washer; and
a connector having an external thread configured to engage the threaded portion of the cavity and a tool engagement end with an exterior radial surface; and

a wrench having a mouth configured to extend around the tool engagement end of the connector, an interior surface of the mouth and the exterior radial surface of the tool engagement end comprising complementary structures such that the wrench is configured to tighten the connector into the cavity, wherein the complementary structures are configured to slip out of engagement with one another upon the application of a rotational force to the wrench greater than a threshold force; and
wherein the washer, gasket, engagement tip, and connector each define a central passage extending therethrough for reception of the catheter; and the catheter connection assembly is configured such that when the connector is threaded into the cavity, the connector causes the engagement tip and washer to compress the gasket therebetween to thereby radially compress the gasket around the catheter to retain the catheter within the cavity.
