Abstract
A quick connector for permanently locked, non-disconnectable receipt of a tubular male insertion member having a lock feature, and assembly therewith is provided. The connector includes a housing having a tubular wall with inner and outer surfaces extending between opposite ends with a locking feature extending into the inner surface. The inner surface bounds a through bore having an annular shoulder. A retaining member has an annular retainer wall with inner and outer surfaces. The retaining member outer surface is sized for receipt in the through bore of the housing wall. At least one locking member extends radially outwardly from the retainer wall outer surface for lock engagement with the locking feature to prevent relative axial movement between the housing wall and the retaining member. The retainer wall has at least one locking finger extending radially inwardly for locked engagement with the lock feature of the tubular male insertion member.
