A connection component for connecting a fluid delivery set to a fluid containing container having a top opening having a tearable diaphragm and a threaded connection thereon wherein the connection component comprises: a cap shaped connection component including a circular body portion having top and bottom surfaces and a cylindrical rim portion extending in one axial direction therefrom and adapted to be threadedly received on the fluid containing container; a projecting member having an outer diameter, a pointed apex and a lower angled opposing side wherein said apex on said projecting member extends downwardly from said bottom surface of said body portion beyond said rim portion and at least a portion of said projecting member is oriented offset from the horizontal center of said body portion, a fluid passageway passing through said body portion and substantially enclosed by said projecting member said fluid passageway having a fluid receiving opening which opens adjacent to said opposing side of said projecting member and wherein said apex is nearest to the horizontal center of said body portion and wherein said apex extends further from said body portion than said fluid receiving opening and said projecting member is adapted to tear the diaphragm on the container to form an opening therein that is larger than said diameter of said projecting member; said body portion having an air passageway therein extending through said body portion and offset from the horizontal center of said body portion and wherein said air passageway is oriented opposite said fluid receiving opening with respect to the horizontal center of said body portion; and a movable member in flow communication with said air passageway to selectively allow air to flow into said container while preventing fluid from passing therethrough.
