ABSTRACT:
A quick disconnect fluid coupling is disclosed. The fluid coupling may be used in, for example, animal watering systems. The fluid coupling includes first and second coupling members. One member has a movable valve which is moved from the valve seat by the stem of the other member upon coupling. A plurality of circumferentially spaced balls are urged inwardly by a constant force spring. The balls are received in a groove of the other member to secure one member to the other.
