1. A fluid supply system for a gas turbine engine comprising:
a first component and a second component;
a fluid fitting that has a fluid junction, the fluid junction includes a first fluid port in fluid communication with and configured to supply a first cooling fluid to the first component, and the fluid junction includes a second fluid port in fluid communication with and configured to supply a second cooling fluid to the second component;
a primary pipe fluidly connected to the fluid fitting;
a flow meter arranged upstream from the fluid junction and configured to receive a cooling supply fluid from a fluid source, wherein the flow meter is a wall having an orifice and a surface that is radiused and convex facing into the cooling supply fluid;
a secondary pipe secured to the fluid fitting and configured to supply the second cooling fluid to the second component;
a turbine section having a high pressure turbine section rotating at a faster speed than a low pressure turbine section, the turbine section including the first and second components, wherein the first and second components are part of a mid-turbine frame arranged within the turbine section between the high pressure turbine section and the low pressure turbine section; and
the primary pipe configured to provide the cooling supply fluid from the fluid source to the fluid fitting.
