A passageway longitudinally extends through the outlet spout and communicates with the interior of the media bag. A diptube connector is mounted to the outlet spout. The diptube connector includes a stem having a first end with a barb radially projecting out therefrom and an opposing second end with an annular flange radially projecting out therefrom.
