ABSTRACT:
A fluid quick connector includes an integral retainer pivotally mounted on a housing for latchingly coupling a first endform in the bore of the housing. The retainer is coupled to the housing by a living hinge forming the retainer and the housing as a one-piece unitary body to eliminate the need to manufacture and assemble a separate retainer in the connector.
