Abstract
A quick connect connector is disclosed. The connector includes a connector housing having a first and a second ends. A first chamber is provided in the housing between the first and the second ends for receiving a sealing member therein. A retaining collar is slidably mounted on the housing between the first and second ends of the housing and includes at least one radially deflectable locking portion thereon. The radially deflectable retaining portion is adapted to engagingly contact a flange portion of a tubing member inserted in the housing to retain the tubing member in a locked position relative to and sealingly engaging the sealing member between the retaining portion and the first end of the housing. The locking portion is received within a groove of the housing to lock the collar to the housing and secure the connection. The tubing connector is resiliently urged out from the housing and against the engaged retaining portion of the housing.
