Abstract
A quick-connect coupling having a rotatable release member that is movable between a locked position whereat the plug-to-connect coupling is locked in a coupled state, and a release position whereat the quick-connect coupling can be decoupled. The coupling can be operated with one hand as the release member can remain in an unlocked position (e.g., the release position) when moved to such position and released.
