Liquid dispensing systems with gas removal and sensing capabilities

A dispensing apparatus comprising:

• a connector including a connector body having a lower portion connectable to a closure of a pressure dispense package, a downwardly extending probe portion, a liquid extraction conduit extending through the connector body and the probe portion and terminating at a lower end of the probe portion, a gas extraction conduit extending through the connector body and the probe portion and terminating at a location above the liquid extraction conduit;
• a fitment;
• and
• a fitment adapter received within the fitment and having a cup-shaped outer portion and a male inner portion received in the cup-shaped inner portion, the male inner portion having a gas passage and defining a longitudinal bore extending along a first axis, the longitudinal bore having an upper portion configured to receive the downwardly extending probe portion of the connector and a lower portion configured to receive an upper portion of a dip tub therein, wherein when the downwardly extending probe of the connector is received in the fitment adapter, the gas passage of the fitment adapter is in fluid communication with the gas extraction conduit of the connector.
