Abstract: A disconnect tool for disconnecting an assurance cap mounted over a tubular member of a fluid connector assembly in a connector body to which the tubular member is locked by a retainer clip carried on the connector body. The disconnect tool includes an annular collar. A plurality of axial fingers extend from the collar and engage primary latch fingers of the assurance cap where end projections of the primary latch fingers are locked in a exterior groove on the connector body. Insertion of the disconnect tool through the assurance cap urges the ends of the fingers into engagement with the primary latch fingers of the assurance cap bending the primary fingers radially outward to separate the projections of the primary latch fingers from the groove on the connector body enabling the assurance cap to be separated from the connector body.

Abstract: A fluid quick connector for joining first and second members has a housing with a through bore extending from a first end. A retainer is movable through the bore in the housing. A lock element is carried in the housing and moved by a projection on the retainer from a first position allowing passage of a tubular member therethrough into the housing to an angled, second position with respect to the tubular member in which one or more surfaces of the lock element engage and lock the tubular member in the housing resisting axial separation of the tubular member from the housing. The lock element may be a planar disk having a central aperture.
