ABSTRACT:
A quick connector coupling for forming a joint in a fluid line system consists of a female connector body having a bore which receives a male member formed at an end of a tube. A sleeve is secured on the male member and fits closely within the bore. A retainer arrangement is mounted on the male member axially outwardly of the sleeve. The retainer arrangement has a base that surrounds the male member axially outwardly of the bore entrance, and legs which extend away from the base and into the connector body. The legs have engagement means for engaging the connector body abutment surface to secure the retainer arrangment to the connector body, and for engaging the sleeve to retain the sleeve and male member in the bore.
