Claim:
1. A connector assembly for preventing sealing connection with a non-permitted, substantially uniform internal diameter conduit having an end face, the connector assembly comprising a first connector having a floor and a coupling portion, the coupling portion projecting outward from the floor, the coupling portion including a sealing surface and a non-sealing surface, the non-sealing surface being located closer to a free end of the first connector than the sealing surface, the non-sealing surface being sized and shaped to hold the non-permitted conduit off of the sealing surface and prevent sealing therewith, the sealing surface having an outer diameter that is greater than an outer diameter of at least a portion of the non-sealing surface, and a bleed passage in the first connector located generally adjacent the floor for bleeding fluid out of the connector assembly when the non-permitted conduit is attached to the coupling portion, the assembly further comprising at least one stand-off rib projecting outwardly from the floor for engaging the end face of the conduit and spacing the end face of the conduit from the floor, the bleed passage being at least partially defined between the rib and the floor.
