ABSTRACT:
A connector adapted for use with an associated fluid line includes a connector body having a passage dimensioned to receive the associated fluid line and a capturing member supported on said connector body. The capturing member is suitable for retaining the associated fluid line in the passage. A sealing member is disposed within the passage and is suitable for forming a fluid-tight seal between the connector body and the associated fluid line. A stiffening member is disposed within the connector body along the passage, and an indicator is disposed within the connector body and is adapted to indicate that the associated fluid line has been received a predetermined distance into the passage.
