A pipe connection arrangement for a fluid management system includes a pipe nut for releasably connecting an end portion of a pipe to a fluid port of the fluid management system. The pipe nut has a first portion having a toothed outer profile and a second portion configured to engage with a connection point portion of said fluid management system. An elongated drive member having a first end portion with a toothed outer profile is configured to cooperate with the toothed outer profile of the pipe nut, the first end portion further being configured to concentrically engage with a supplementary guide member adapted to be fixedly arranged adjacent the connection point portion of said fluid management system. When the elongated drive member is in engagement with the supplementary guide member, and the second portion of the pipe nut is in engagement with the connection point portion, the toothed outer profile and the toothed outer profile of the pipe nut are permitted to mesh together such that a rotation of said elongated drive member causes a corresponding rotation of the pipe nut for clamping the end portion to the fluid port or unclamping the end portion from the fluid port.
