Claim:
A method of distributing fluid, the method comprising: receiving the fluid in an opening of a body; distributing at least some fluid received in said opening to a first conduit in communication with a first outlet of a first discharge element coupled to said body; selectively distributing at least some fluid received in said opening, other than said fluid distributed to said first conduit, to a second conduit in communication with a second outlet of a second discharge element coupled to at least one of said body and said first discharge element; wherein selectively distributing said at least some fluid received in said opening to said second conduit comprises controlling flow of fluid through a third conduit in communication with said opening and in communication with said second conduit when said second discharge element is coupled to said at least one of said body and said first discharge element, said flow of fluid through said third conduit being controlled in response to coupling and decoupling of said second discharge element with said at least one of said body and said first discharge element such that fluid is permitted to pass through said third conduit when said second discharge element is coupled to said at least one of said body and said first discharge element and such that fluid is prevented from passing through said third conduit when said second discharge element is uncoupled with said at least one of said body and said first discharge element; and distributing at least some of said fluid received in said first conduit to said second conduit when said second discharge element is coupled to said at least one of said body and said first discharge element.
