A new fluid coupling assembly (50) includes a split male nut (60, 62) positioned over a coupling member or gland (14) of a fluid system. The split male nut members (60, 62) are preferably formed of a precipitation hardenable material. Various interlock arrangements facilitate assembly of the split male nut halves (60, 62). Moreover, providing indicia (170) on the male nut halves (60, 62) assists in forming the threads (70) and subsequent assembly. A female nut assembly includes a pair of inserts that are secured together by a collar having a shoulder (64) defined by a counterbore (220). An external portion of the shoulder (64) overlaps the counterbore (220) formed therein to increase the strength of the female nut assembly.
