A stuffer pin assembly for carrying and loading internal components of a female connector body of a quick connector coupling. The assembly includes a cylindrical carrier body extending between a first end and a second end. A radial shoulder spaced from the first end is formed in the body. A cylindrical wall extends between the radial shoulder and the second end. A groove is formed in the cylindrical wall. At least one seal is secured on the carrier body within the groove. A spacer is secured on the carrier body between the groove and the radial shoulder. A retainer is secured on the carrier body and includes an annular ring surrounding the carrier body between the spacer and the radial shoulder. A plurality of legs extend away from the ring and toward the first end of the carrier body. A male member insertable into a loaded connector body includes an annular ferrule secured on a tube around one or more upsets. The ferrule is postioned between the legs and ring of the retainer to secure the male member in the connector body.
