An insertion indicator device (10) is employed in conjunction with a quick connector (12) assembly comprising a male element (14) and a female element (16). The indicator device includes a base member (112) carried within the female element. Two or more leg members (114, 116) extend axially from the base member and terminate adjacent an axial housing opening. A generally annular indicator member is disposed substantially adjacent the opening and releasably engages the ends of the leg members. Means are provided to axially displace the base member upon engagement of the male and female elements to effect separation of the base and indicator members. Lastly, guide means are provided to ensure the maintenance of proper orientation of the indicator device with respect to the quick connector before and during the engagement process.
