Abstract: A connector can include a first portion with a cylindrical end. The connector can also include a second portion having a cylindrical cavity and a plurality of collars disposed along an interior circumference of the cavity and extending inward so as to contact the first portion when the first portion is inserted into the second portion and to create a seal between the cylindrical end and the cylindrical cavity. The connector can further include a pressure equalization channel with an opening toward the cylindrical cavity at one end and a valve disposed at the other end, the valve being configured to have a first position at which the pressure equalization channel is open to an exterior, and a second position at which the pressure equalization channel is sealed.
