CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH A CHECK VALVE

摘要

A connector assembly (20) includes a coupling housing (22) extending between a first coupling end (24) and a second coupling end (26), and a fluid quick connector (34) is disposed about one of the coupling ends (24, 26). The coupling housing (22) defines a coupling passageway (28) extending between the coupling ends (24, 26) and a check valve (52) is disposed within the coupling passageway (28). The check valve (52) includes a locking barb (66) extending outwardly from a check valve housing (54) to establish a compression fit between the check valve housing (54) and the coupling housing (22) when the check valve (52) is disposed within the coupling passageway (28). The check valve (52) also includes a rib (68) extending outwardly from the check valve housing (54) and disposed in abutting relationship with the coupling housing (22) to align the check valve (52) within the coupling passageway (28).
