Abstract
Quick connector having a coupling body and a multifunctional part with a retention unit and an indicator. The coupling body includes a head portion at one end and a plug-in portion at the other end, the plug-in portion configured for attaching to a first tube, the head portion having an axial opening for introduction of a counterpart with a circumferential collar. The head portion has at least one radial opening for inserting the multifunctional part, the multifunctional part having a back for manual operation for the purpose of being inserted into the coupling body. The retention unit has two retention legs, and the indicator has two indicator limbs movable independently of the retention legs when inserting the circumferential collar. The indicator limbs and the coupling body are configured so that the indicator can be transferred from a partially inserted preassembly position to a fully inserted assembly position via movement of the indicator limbs.
