PCT No. PCT/US93/11281 Sec. 371 Date May 14, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date May 14, 1996 PCT Filed Nov. 16, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO95/14187 PCT Pub. Date May 26, 1995A quick connector (10) has a pair of waist segments (76 and 81), a shoulder segment (163), a body segment (72) with an aperture (156) therein, and a leg segment (78). The leg segment (78) is defined by a pair of projecting elements (163) which are at least partially compressible toward one another thereby causing the pair of waist segments (76 and 81) to move toward one another. Thus, a swivellable connection is made which has the equivalent length and diameter of a convention non-swivellable threaded coupling. The quick connector (10) may be released by hand or a snap ring tool inserted into holes (410).
