Abstract
A valve device includes male and female housings having, respectively, exterior and interior annular channels. The male housing is receivable into the female housing such that the exterior and interior annular channels together define a toroidal tube. The male and female housings together define a fluid through-passage. There are first and second valve elements disposed, respectively, in the male and female housings. Ball locks are receivable into the toroidal tube. The ball locks axially lock the male and female housings together but permit rotation between the male and female housings. A lock includes first and second pin holes in, respectively, the male and female housings. The lock is engageable to rotationally lock the male and female housings when the first and second pin holes are in alignment.
