Abstract: Provided is a fluid coupling apparatus for coupling two fluid lines. The fluid coupling apparatus includes a tubular socket element, a tubular plug element, and a retaining element. The tubular socket element has a conduction side and a coupling side. A locking sleeve is axially displaceable in the direction of the conduction side is arranged in the socket element and fixes a pre-assembly position. The tubular plug element has a conduction side and a coupling side and a retaining groove. The retaining element is biased in the pre-assembly position and can be arranged orthogonally to the axial direction and releasable by displacing the locking sleeve in the direction of the conduction side of the socket element such that the retaining element is received in the final assembly position in the retaining groove and thereby a complete coupling of the socket element and the plug element is fixed in the final assembly position.
