The bubble trap includes a body having a first end with an inlet, a second end with an outlet, a fluid flow path disposed between the inlet and the outlet, a first area within the body, a second area within the body, and an opening between the first and second ends of the body. A chamber is coupled to and in fluid communication with the opening of the body.
