Abstract
A chemical transfer coupler including an inlet, an outlet, a chemical flow chamber fluidly connecting the inlet and the outlet, and a probe. The probe extends through the chemical flow chamber and includes a rinse aperture, a probe end fitting, and a first recessed slot. The probe end fitting includes a first end, a second end, and an outer surface. The first recessed slot extends helically along the outer surface from the first end to the second end. The chemical flow chamber fluidly couples the rinse aperture and the outlet. The first recessed slot is positioned at least partially along a flow path extending between the rinse aperture and the outlet.
