ABSTRACT:
A quick connect pop top indicator for use with thin walled connectors includes a generally annular sleeve adapted to fit adjacent an opening on a thin walled tubing housing member. The sleeve nests an indicator member substantially within the cap and housing. The indicator includes a base member and axially extending leg members extending from the base and connected to a generally annular indicator member. Means are provided for separating the indicator member from the base and leg members upon proper coupling of the housing with a corresponding male member. Means are also provided on the sleeve and indicator for maintaining the sleeve and indicator in proper axial and circumferential alignment prior to proper coupling of the housing and male member.
