ABSTRACT:
A quick connect coupling for joining two pipes which includes a male and a female element adapted to fit axially in each other. A body of the female element is equipped with a resiliently urged bolt mounted to slide in the body and provided with a central opening for receiving the male element. A wall of the opening is equipped with three teeth offset with respect to one another along a median axis of the opening. The male element is provided with a shoulder adapted to rest selectively against one of the teeth. When the male element rests against an intermediate tooth, a the downstream pipe is placed in communication with ambient atmosphere.
