A connector for releasably retaining tubing includes a coupler bore with a O-ring member, a co-axial guide member, a stationary grip-ring member having a radially deployable toothed distal end for grippingly engaging the terminal portion of tubing, and a sleeve limiter disposed around the ring member for restricting ring member axial movement. A release member laterally deploys the toothed distal end and additionally operates in concert with inserted tubing to cause radial deployment of the distal end to cause surrounding receipt of the tubing. The release member then moves to a non-release position upon minimal reverse-direction tubing travel for automatic tubing retention by the toothed distal end of the stationary grip ring member. Hand movement of the release member radially deploys the toothed distal end which results in release thereof of the retained tubing and its withdrawability from the connector.
