Tube sealing assembly

A nozzle connecting assembly for a fluid-tight coupling to a connecting conduit on a substantially rigid surface of a body member, said nozzle connecting assembly comprising:

• a connector fitting formed to couple to the body member;
• a substantially rigid, elongated, nozzle member including a central conduit having a fluid receiving end terminating at a contacting end of the nozzle member, and a fluid dispensing end terminating at a distal nozzle end of the nozzle member, said nozzle member being slideably coupled to the connector fitting for sliding movement of the contacting end toward and away from the connecting conduit of the body rigid surface, and said nozzle end extending beyond the connector fitting;
• and
• a biasing device coupled between the connector fitting and the nozzle member for biasing said contacting end into direct abutting contact with the rigid surface with a biasing force sufficient to form a fluid-tight seal at the contacting end of the nozzle member between the central conduit thereof and the connecting conduit of the body rigid surface when the connector fitting is coupled to the body member to dispense fluid from the central conduit and out of said distal nozzle end.
