ABSTRACT:
A connector which includes a female part having a barrel-shaped body, with a socket extending into the female part from one end of the barrel-shaped body. The socket includes first, second, and third step portions which respectively receive a flange, a shoulder, and a stem of a male part. A lip extends radially inwardly from the barrel-shaped body of the female part, with the lip having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the flange of the male part. The male part can be inserted into the female part by inserting the flange of the male part past the lip of the female part, such that the male and female parts are snapped together. In a presently preferred embodiment, a seal ring is disposed between the male and female parts, and the seal ring is compressed in an axial direction, thereby providing the connector with a fluid tight seal.
