Claim 9:
10. The flow control valve of claim 9, further comprising:
a spring disposed within the lower end of the diverter housing opposite the port and the upper end of the diverter housing,
wherein the lower end of the diverter housing extends away from the fluid line and the spring is configured to engage the diverter to cause the diverter to be positioned in the first position when a fluid interface is not engaged with the port, and to compress when the diverter is moved toward the lower end responsive to a coupling of a fluid interface with the port,
wherein the coupling of the fluid interface with the port causes the diverter to be compressed against the spring to move the diverter to the second position whereby the second fluid pathway is formed, and a decoupling of the fluid interface from the port causes the diverter to retract due to extension of the spring to move to the first position whereby the first fluid pathway is formed.
