A connector for fast connection of fluid carrying assemblies such as a mating tube and a fluid unit. The connector includes a connector body which houses the connector components and accepts a redundant clip (10) which is adapted to engage an upset bead of the male tube (12). The redundant clip is generally L-shaped and includes a retaining head (40) which is inserted into the connector body and is adapted to engage the upset bead, a body portion (42) which extends along the side of the connector body and in the preferred embodiment is contoured to mate with the connector body and a base member (44) which includes a camming edge for facilitating the insertion of the retainer head into the connector body.
