The nozzle-guard unit has a bottom wall, a boss extending from a surface of the bottom wall in one direction, a nozzle fitting extending from a surface of the bottom wall in the opposite direction, the boss, bottom wall and nozzle fitting having an open-ended passage extending completely through them, and a side wall spaced from, surrounding and extending beyond the nozzle fitting in the direction, from the bottom wall, of the nozzle fitting. The boss extends through a port in the bin and the unit is secured to the bin around a periphery of the unit contiguous the bin.
