Abstract
The coupling comprises a male plug () and a female element (). A retaining latch () for retaining the plug () in the female element () is movable between a first position in which said latch () is capable of retaining the plug () engaged to a first depth in the female element () in which it is connected in leaktight manner to said female element, and a second position in which said latch () is suitable for retaining the male plug () engaged to a second depth that is smaller than the first depth. The latch () is configured in such a manner as to be returned (F) towards the second position at least in part by positive pressure in a passage () for purging the downstream pipe when the plug is at the second depth. In a variant embodiment, the coupling includes an adapter that the latch is suitable for retaining.
