ABSTRACT:
A fluid coupling includes first and second connectable fittings. Each of the fittings include a body, an annular seat, and a fluid channel extending through the body and seat thereof. The first fitting includes a pair of latch bosses, and the second fitting includes a pair of latch arms, with the second fitting being rotatable relative to the first fitting to a latched position wherein the latch arms engage the latch bosses for maintaining the first seat adjacent to the second seat for allowing fluid to flow between the first and second channels. The fittings are also rotatable to a disengaged position wherein the latch arms and pins are disengaged to allow the first and second seats to be separated.
