Claim:
A connector which comprises: (a) a polymeric tube having two ends and an essentially centrally disposed hole therethrough; (b) a pair of oppositely facing connectors at each end of said tube, (i) each connector having an end, a sealing surface adjacent said end, and a shoulder adjacent said sealing surface, and (ii) an internally threaded outwardly-facing nut, said nut having an essentially centrally disposed aperture, a diameter of said aperture dimensioned for sliding movement about said tube yet smaller than a diameter of said shoulder of said connector, said nut having an internal bore dimensioned to permit movement over said shoulder of said connector, said nut positioned internal of said shoulder of each connector; and (c) at least one third connector on said tube internal of said two oppositely facing connectors at each end of said tube and said outwardly-facing nuts, said at least one third connector further comprising (i) a third connector end, a third sealing surface adjacent said third end, and a third shoulder adjacent said third sealing surface, and (ii) a third internally threaded nut for said third connector, said third nut facing toward said third sealing surface, said third nut having an essentially centrally disposed third aperture, a diameter of said third aperture dimensioned for sliding movement about said tube yet smaller than a diameter of said third shoulder, said third nut having a third internal bore dimensioned to permit movement over said third shoulder, said third nut positioned adjacent to said third shoulder.
