Fluid transfer assembly, a fluid transfer system, and a related method

A fluid transfer assembly comprising:

• a first fluid conduit;
• a second fluid conduit;
• and
• a body portion comprising an open end, the body portion including a fluid channel defined therein and in fluid communication with the open end, the body portion engaged with the first fluid conduit and the second fluid conduit such that the first fluid conduit and the second fluid conduit are secured within the body portion and in fluid communication with the fluid channel, the body portion capable of receiving a mandrel having a first protrusion and a second protrusion extending in a direction away from a longitudinal mandrel axis of the mandrel with the first fluid conduit capable of being received over the first protrusion and the second fluid conduit capable of being received over the second protrusion, the body portion having an elongated state in which the mandrel with the first protrusion and the second protrusion is removable through the open end, the body having an unelongated state in which the open end has a dimension less than the mandrel such that the mandrel is prevented from being removed through the open end, the body portion defining one or more internal recesses that extend through the body portion in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body portion, the one or more internal recesses each configured to be engaged to transition the body portion from the unelongated state to the elongated state, each of the one or more internal recesses are out of fluid communication with the fluid channel.
