摘要

A quick connect/disconnect system including a male component having a first fluid channel, a first male coupling portion, and a second male coupling portion. A first ring assembly is supported by the male body and extends about the second male coupling portion and includes a male mating feature on an internal surface of the ring assembly. A female component includes a first female coupling portion, a second female coupling portion, and a second fluid channel sized to receive the second male coupling portion. A female mating feature is configured to rotatably engage the male mating feature, such that when the second female coupling portion is coupled with the second male coupling portion and the female mating feature is mated with the male mating feature, the first fluid channel is in fluid communication with the second fluid channel.
