A fluid collection vial is connected to the airway from which fluid is to be collected by connection to an arm of a tee connector, and a disc assembly is provided in the arm of the tee connector that closes the opening to the vial when the vial is removed. The disc assembly includes a first disc fixedly mounted in the connector arm, and a second disc rotatably mounted to the first disc. The first disc includes at least one aperture, and the second disc includes at least one corresponding aperture. The second, rotatable disc includes at least one tab for indexing the second disc's aperture to open the passageway to the vial when the vial is attached, and to close the passageway when the vial is removed.
