Abstract: A fluid connector system comprising a housing having a fluid port; a cartridge permanently insertable in the fluid port; a conduit detachably insertable in the cartridge; the cartridge comprising a housing insertable in the fluid port and having an opening therethrough communicable with the fluid port, a first O-ring mounted thereon and disposable in sealing engagement with the housing, the cartridge housing being securable within the housing when the cartridge is inserted in the fluid port, a bushing and at least one O-ring disposed in the cartridge opening and disposable in sealing engagement with the conduit, and a retainer disposed in the opening and cooperable with the conduit for detachably securing the conduit in the cartridge in a coupling condition therewith when the conduit is inserted in the opening; and a release member mounted in the cartridge housing and cooperable with the retainer for releasing the conduit to allow it to be removed from the cartridge into an upcoupling condition.

Abstract: A fluid connector generally comprising a housing having a longitudinal opening therethrough having at least one transversely disposed bearing, a conduit insertable in the longitudinal housing opening in a coupling position, the coupling having a fluid passageway communicating with the longitudinal housing opening and an annular flange spaced from the transverse bearing surface when the conduit is in the coupling position, means providing a seal between the housing and inserted conduit, a retainer disposed in the longitudinal housing opening including at least two leg sections, each of said leg sections having a support leg portion extending rearwardly and outwardly from the annular section, a transversely deflectable retaining leg portion disposed between the conduit annular flange and the housing and forming a continuation of the support leg portion at a first reverse bend, the retaining leg extending forwardly and inwardly toward the opening of the annular section, whereupon the retaining leg extends radial
