ABSTRACT:
A quick connect connector for connecting to a fluidline in a safe, reliable manner. The connector includes a body member having a central fluid passageway with a valve fixedly secured therein for selectively controlling fluid flow through the passageway. A piston member is slideably engaged with the body member, with the body member being slideable relative to the piston member between a first position and a second position. A collet assembly or a ball detent assembly is connected to the piston member for connecting the fluidline, which has a valve at the end thereof, to the piston member. A positioning and retaining mechanism is provided for selectively controlling movement of the body member relative to said piston member between the first position and the second position and for retaining the body member at the second position. The collet assembly or the ball detent assembly initially secures the fluidline to the piston member prior to the valves in the fluidline and the body member being opened. When the positioning and retaining mechanism actuates the body member to the second position, the valves are opened, thereby permitting flow through the connector.
