1. A low-profile fluid manifold comprising:
a first fluid input orifice having a first internal threadless seal;
a first and second fluid output orifice having a second and third internal threadless seal, respectively;
a fluid reservoir;
a first fluid input line connecting the first fluid input orifice to the fluid reservoir;
a first fluid output line connecting the fluid reservoir to the first fluid output orifice; and
a second fluid output line connecting the fluid reservoir to the second fluid output orifice;
wherein the first fluid output orifice has a first output diameter and the second fluid output orifice has a second output diameter, and the first output diameter is larger than the second output diameter; and
wherein the first fluid input orifice has an internal surface structure in contact with the first internal threadless seal configured to create a fluid tight seal.
