A mounting bracket specifically configured and adapted to allow for quick and easy mounting of a fluid pump, such as a pump commonly used in dispensing fountain drinks. The mounting bracket includes fluid passageway(s) which are fluidly connectable with corresponding passageways(s) on the pump, a pressurized gas control source, as well as adjacent mounting bracket(s), such that the pump is automatically connected to such passageways to facilitate operation of the pump upon engagement of the pump in the mounting bracket.
