The female coupler portion comprises a body portion with a fluid transmitting bore formed therein, with the bore having at least one elongated alignment slot formed generally parallel to the flow axis, and with a pair of clamping cams pivotally secured to the wall of the female portion. The male adaptor portion comprises a generally tubular body having a fluid transmitting bore formed therein and with a radially extending locking lug formed along one end of the adaptor for mating engagement with the alignment slot of the female coupling portion. For purposes of strength, durability and ease of operation, a pair of alignment slots and a pair of locking lugs are provided on the coupler portions in diametrically opposed relationship, one with the other, and with the alignment slots being disposed generally at right angles from the locking cams. A leveling surface is also provided external to the male adaptor portion, and a mating nozzle may be leveled relative thereto once the coupler is leveled.
