ABSTRACT:
A stuffer pin for mounting seals and a retainer element in a quick connector used with fluid conduits. The stuffer pin includes an integral shaft, an enlarged stop and a handle. Annular seal mounting portions are formed on the shaft for releasibly supporting seal elements. A ridge is formed on the shaft for releasibly engaging and mounting a retainer on the shaft. Resilient arms extend axially from an end of the shaft and have a larger nominal outer diameter than the diameter of the shaft to retain the seal elements on the shaft prior to insertion into a bore in a fluid carrying member. The resilient arms are bent radially inward when contacting a stepped bore in the fluid carrying member to enable release of the seals and retainer elements during withdrawal of the stuffer pin from the bore.
