1. A breakaway coupling assembly, comprising:
a male coupling including an insert section and a post section, and defining a first male coupling aperture and a second male coupling aperture connected by a male coupling internal channel, the insert section including a sealing gasket and a plurality of ribs, each including a snap-action surface; and a female coupling including a receptacle section and a female coupling post section, and defining a mechanically deformable first female coupling aperture and a second female coupling aperture connected by a female coupling internal channel, the receptacle section defining an insertion cavity including a sealing surface, a rib retention groove, and a retention surface; wherein, upon insertion of the male coupling insert section into the insertion cavity, the plurality of ribs deforms the first female coupling aperture and the retention surface engages with the first retention surface to draw the plurality of ribs into the rib retention groove, and the sealing gasket engages the sealing surface to form a continuous fluid flow path for fluid to flow between the male coupling internal channel and the female coupling internal channel; and wherein the first female coupling aperture forms a complete circular periphery shape, and, upon insertion, the plurality of ribs forces the first female coupling aperture to form an elliptical periphery shape. |
