A quick-connect connector (10) for connecting ends of first and second ducts (12,14), the connector including a sleeve (16) having opposite ends to be received over the ducts, wherein the sleeve has quick-connect couplings (18,36) disposed at each end to engage corresponding couplings on the duct ends. One of the quick-connect couplings has a resilient clip (18) configured to engage corresponding lugs on the first duct (14) end, wherein the resilient clip (18) has a plurality of engaging portions configured to engage the lugs and the sleeve (16) is configured to maintain alignment of the engaging portions as the connector is being received over an end of the duct and configured to allow at least one of the engaging portions to be further advanced along the sleeve after the connector has been received to engage a respective corresponding lug which has been axially offset along the duct. |
