A fluid coupling system (25) is provided including a fluid coupling (26) having a cooperative key coding system (58) and latching mechanism (54), a valve biasing mechanism (60) with corrosion resistance, and other advantageous features. The key coding system (58) permits interconnection of only matched couplings members while preventing the inadvertent interconnection of mismatched coupling members notwithstanding the presence of many coupling, both matched and mismatched. The coupling (26) includes first and second coupling members that are releasably slideably, axially interfitted with their passageways (70, 170) in fluid communication. The key coding system (58) includes key coding elements on the coupling members that are axially movable into matched interengagement when the coupling members are matched but are precluded from moving into matched interengagement when they are mismatched. |
