Claim 0:
1. A sealed connection, comprising:
a rotatable valve stem having a peripheral wall, wherein a first fluid port extends through the peripheral wall and a second fluid port extends through the peripheral wall, wherein the second fluid port is spaced from the first fluid port in an axial direction of the rotatable valve stem;
a manifold including a first manifold port and a second manifold port; and
a sealing connector including: (a) a first connector port in direct contact with the peripheral wall, (b) a second connector port connected to the first manifold port, (c) a first connector fluid path extending between the first connector port and the second connector port, (d) a third connector port in direct contact with the peripheral wall, (e) a fourth connector port connected to the second manifold port, and (f) a second connector fluid path extending between the third connector port and the fourth connector port, wherein rotation of the rotatable valve stem to a first position at least partially aligns the first fluid port of the rotatable valve stem with the first connector port to place the first fluid port of the rotatable valve stem in fluid communication with the first manifold port through the first connector fluid path, and wherein rotation of the rotatable valve stem to a second position at least partially aligns the second fluid port of the rotatable valve stem with the third connector port to place the second fluid port of the rotatable valve stem in fluid communication with the second manifold port through the second connector fluid path.
