Claim 12:
13. A method of securing a removable nipple fitting assembly to a housing having a mounting location for receiving the nipple fitting assembly, the method comprising:
mounting the nipple fitting assembly onto the housing such that a base of the nipple fitting assembly engages complementary structure proximate the mounting location and prevents relative rotation between the base and the housing;
rotating a nipple fitting of the assembly relative to the base such that the nipple fitting is operatively coupled with the housing in a fluid-tight manner;
resisting rotation of the nipple fitting relative to the base with a locking structure between the base and the nipple fitting when a torque applied to rotate the nipple fitting is below a threshold torque; and
enabling relative rotation between the nipple fitting and the base when a torque applied to rotate the nipple fitting in a loosening direction exceeds the threshold torque.
