Abstract: A connector is disclosed that includes a coupler having a socket end fluidically connected by a passage to a stem connected to a first fluid tube. A retainer housing having a cavity in axial alignment with the passage is installed on the coupler socket end and a retainer is installed in the retainer housing in a first position. A second fluid tube having a raised bead formed proximate an end portion of the second fluid tube is permitted to be installed into the retainer housing cavity by the retainer when the retainer is in the first position. Installation of the second fluid tube places the bead in the retainer housing and the end portion of the second fluid tube in the coupler passage providing a fluid path between the first fluid tube and the second fluid tube. The retainer is moved to a second position latching the bead to the retainer housing retaining the second fluid tube to the connector.

Abstract: A quick connector includes a coupler fluidically connected by a passage to a first fluid tube. A retainer housing in axial alignment with the passage is installed on the coupler and a movable retainer is installed in the retainer housing in a first position. A second fluid tube having a raised bead formed proximate an end portion of the second fluid tube is permitted to be installed into the retainer housing cavity by the retainer when the retainer is in the first position. Moving the retainer to a second position latches the bead to the retainer housing retaining the second fluid tube to the quick connector.

Abstract: A quick connector is adapted to display a code that verifies that a latch member is engaged to retain an installed pipe to the quick connector. The quick connector comprises a connector body having a receiving portion surrounding an internal passage, the internal passage arranged to receive the pipe therein. A latch member retained on the receiving portion is arranged to be movable between a pipe insertion position and a latched position. In the pipe insertion position, the latch member allows the pipe to be inserted into the internal passage. A code readable by a scanning device becomes readable when the latch member is moved to the latched position verifying that the pipe is installed and latched in the connector body.

Abstract: A fluid quick connector assembly (20) according to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, among other possible things includes a housing (22) having a passage (32) configured to receive an endform (26), and a retainer (24) including a bridge (68). A beam (78) extends from the bridge. Two retainer arms (70) extend from the bridge to retain the male endform (26) in the passage of the housing when the retainer is in an engaged position. Two guiding legs (72) extend from the bridge that guide the retainer (24) during movement to the engaged position. The bridge (68), the beam (78), the two retainer arms (70), and the two guiding legs (72) are an integral unitary single piece component, and the beam (78) contacts the endform (26) when the retainer (24) is in the engaged position.
