Apparatus for transferring liquified gases between canisters

An apparatus for transferring fluids, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing having first and second opposing openings;
• a plate extending across the housing, wherein the plate has a first plate surface facing the first opening and a second plate surface facing the second opening;
• a first pin coupled to the first plate surface and extending from the first plate surface towards the first opening;
• a second pin coupled to the second plate surface and extending from the second plate surface towards the second opening;
• a channel through the plate configured to allow a fluid to pass from the first opening to the second opening;
• a first gasket interposed between the first plate surface and the first opening;
• and
• a second gasket interposed between the second plate surface and the second opening;
• wherein the channel is configured to allow the fluid to pass from a first space between the first gasket and the first pin to a second space between the second gasket and the second pin.
