ABSTRACT:
A quick-connect assembly that includes a hollow tubular fitting having axially spaced ends and an outer surface with at least one circumferential groove or channel. A tubular conduit of plastic-coated electrically conductive composition is received over one end of the fitting and is magnetically deformed so as to extend into the channel on the fitting adjacent to the one fitting end for fastening the conduit to the fitting. A coupling is rotatably mounted on the opposing end of the fitting for fastening the fitting to a mating coupling, and carries an elastomeric seal in sliding engagement with the conduit or the fitting for preventing leakage of fluid through the assembly.
