Abstract
This male or female quick coupling element () is intended to be coupled to a pressurized fluid pipe (C; C). It comprises a body () defining at least one pressurized fluid passage (), a front face and a longitudinal axis (X; X) of the coupling element. An inner part () arranged in the body is provided with a surface belonging to the front face, as well as a drain passage () coupling the pressurized fluid passage and the outside of the coupling element. An opening mechanism () is intended to be actuated from the front face of the coupling element to open the drain passage. The inner part () is provided with a peripheral groove () in which a seal () rests that closes off the drain passage () in a closing off portion. The opening mechanism is mounted in the inner part and comprises at least one member () for controlling the position of the seal () relative to the groove (), this control member being movable between a first inactive position, where it does not move the seal relative to its closing off position, and a second active position, where it acts directly on the seal () to open the drain passage ().
