Abstract

See full text

A quick connector body includes a bore fluidically coupled to a bore extending from an open end of an endform when the body is mounted on the endform. Cooperating, initially spaced, latch members and latch engagement members are unitarily carried on the connector body. A collapsible portion is formed on the body between the latch members and the latch engagement members for radial inward protrusion into an annular groove in the endform substantially concurrent with engagement of the latch members and the latch engagement members to fixedly couple the connector on the endform. In one aspect a second end of the connector body is closed to form the connector body as a test cap. In another aspect, a second end of the connector body is open to establish a fluid flow path from the endform to a fluid component coupled to the second end of the connector body.
