ABSTRACT:
A fluid line connector for connecting first and second fluid lines, having: a male portion (12) having a generally frusto-conical nozzle (22); a female portion (14) having a complementary generally frusto-conical recess (46) for receiving the nozzle (22); and a coupling (16) for coupling the male portion (12) and the female portion (14) when the nozzle (22) is received by the recess (46); whereby the fluid lines (72, 74) can be connected by attaching the male portion (12) to the first fluid line and the female portion (14) to the second fluid line, and locating the nozzle (22) within the recess (46) to form only circumferential sealing engagement between the nozzle (22) and the recess (46), and coupling the male and female portions (12, 14) by means of the coupling (16).
