A quick connect/disconnect system includes a first and second connecting member and a biasing member. The first connecting member includes (i) a first body defining a first fluid channel therethrough and having a first coupling portion at a first end portion, and (ii) a first ring assembly supported by the first body and extending about the first end portion and including a first mating feature on an internal surface of the ring assembly. The second connecting member includes (i) a second end portion defining a second coupling portion with a second fluid channel and configured to couple with the first coupling portion, and (ii) a second mating feature on an external surface of the second end portion configured to rotatably engage the first mating feature. The biasing member biases the first connecting member away from the second connecting member when the first and second mating features are mated.
