    Abstract: A female coupling for a fluid quick connector and configured to be removably connected to a male coupling of the connector. The female coupling includes a valve assembly with a valve alternating between closed and open positions. The flow of a fluid from the female coupling towards the male coupling occurs in the open position. The female coupling includes a hollow body defining an inner cavity with a longitudinal axis for the flow of the fluid. The female valve assembly is housed in the inner cavity. The hollow body includes an end portion configured to be housed in a housing seat of an interface manifold. With the end portion in the housing seat, the tubular inner cavity is placed in fluid connection with at least one inner channel of the interface manifold. A constraint prevents rotation/translation of the end portion of the hollow body with respect to the housing seat.
