A connector/clamp assembly for a transfer set includes an inlet connector with a base, a shank extending from one end of the base and an I.V. tube extending from the opposite end of the base. The base interfits with a housing having opposite ends, a bottom wall and a pair of side walls extending from the bottom wall, so that the shank extends from one end of the housing and the tube extends along the bottom wall to the opposite end of the housing. A clamp is present in the housing opposite the tube and which is movable within the housing between a first position wherein the clamp collapses the tube against the housing bottom wall thereby blocking the tube lumen and a second position wherein the clamp does not collapse the tube sufficiently to appreciably occlude the lumen.
