ABSTRACT:
A fluid connector generally comprising a housing having a longitudinal opening therethrough and at least one transverse opening therethrough intersecting with the longitudinal opening and providing at least one transversely disposed bearing surface, a conduit insertable in the longitudinal housing opening in a coupling position, the coupling having a fluid passageway communicating with the longitudinal housing opening and an annular flange spaced from the transverse bearing surface when the conduit is in the coupling position, means providing a seal between the housing and inserted conduit, a retainer disposed in the longitudinal housing opening including at least one leg section having a transversely deflectable retaining leg portion disposed between the annular flange portion of the conduit and the housing, the retaining leg portion having a pad portion engageable with the transverse bearing surface whereby upon application of fluid pressure to the connector tending to eject the conduit from the housing, the force exerted thereby is caused to be transmitted through the conduit annular flange, the retaining leg portion and the pad portion thereof to the housing and means for selectively deflecting the retainer leg portion transversely to permit the removal of the conduit from the housing.
