<p>A quick connector housing element (16) includes an elongated barb design (240) for coupling the female housing to a tubing member (262). The elongated barb design includes a generally cylindrical sealing surface (250) proximate a terminal end (254) of the female housing. The sealing surface of the elongated barb enhances sealing properties between the female housing and the tubing and provides other advantages especially in connection with the use of multilayer tubing. Further, an O-ring (260) is disposed about the sealing surface to provide a better seal.</p> |
