Abstract
A quick connect assembly for releasably engaging an endform including a tubular stem, a collar member and a retaining member. The tubular stem includes a radially extending flange formed proximate to an upper end thereof. The radially extending flange is formed to include a first plurality of locating features. The collar member is carried by the tubular stem and is rotatably adjustable relative to the tubular stem about a longitudinally extending axis to a plurality of indexed positions. The collar member includes an inwardly extending lip proximate a lower end thereof and further including a second plurality of locating features. The retaining member holds the radially extending flange of the tubular stem against the inwardly extending lip of the collar member. The first and second pluralities of locating features cooperate to prevent relative rotation between the collar member and the stem when the radially extending flange of the tubular stem is held against the inwardly extending lip of the collar member.
