Claim:
An assembly for connection to a structure having a port, the assembly comprising: a first tapping connector extending along a central axis from a first end portion attachable in fluid communication to the port of the structure to a second end portion; a primary module attachable in fluid communication to the second end portion of the first tapping connector, the primary module having a collar receivable over the first tapping connector second end portion for supporting the primary module on the structure, the collar being attachable to the first tapping connector, and the primary module having a connector portion; a secondary module mountable on the connector portion of the primary module in fluid communication therewith; and a positioner supported within the collar for fastening the collar to the first tapping connector, whereby the first tapping connector second end portion forms at least one joint with the primary module allowing for the primary module while attached to the second end of the first tapping connector to be moved in one or more directions of either laterally or rotationally relative to the central axis of the first tapping connector to thereby dispose the primary module in a select orientation, and whereby the positioner is tightenable to the first tapping connector second end portion to apply a compressive force thereto retaining the primary module in the select orientation.
