ABSTRACT:
A quick connector coupling for forming a joint in a fluid line system comprises a female connector body having a bore which receives a male member. A retainer disposed within the bore includes retention legs which have members that extend between abutment surfaces formed within the connector body and an upset formed on the male member to retain the male member within the bore. The retainer also has latching verification legs which extend out of the bore and engage abutment surfaces exterior to the bore to fix the axial position of the retainer and to provide visual verification of a proper coupling.
