QUICK CONNECTOR

A quick connector coupling includes a hollow female connector body having an internal bore defining a longitudinal flow axis, the connector body including an entry end having an entry opening for receiving a male end form introduced axially in a forward insertion direction. The coupling further includes a pair of windows defined by the entry end and disposed on opposite lateral sides of the entry end and a retainer member defined by a base and a pair of spaced-apart holding portions extending upwardly from the base, the base disposed below the connector body. The pair of holding portions extends through the windows, wherein the retainer has a nominal shape and is flexible and resilient such that the retainer is biased toward its nominal shape in response to being flexed. A verifier member is coupled to the entry end, the verifier including an actuating portion disposed above the entry end of the connector body and the windows, the verifier including a pair of legs extending downwardly from the actuating portions on each side of the entry end and extending into the windows. The verifier includes a pair of feet extending inwardly from the bottom of the corresponding legs and into the windows. The verifier is operable between a first position and a second position, the verifier being biased towards the first position.
