Abstract
A quick connect and quick disconnect adaptor for a fluid coupling system is provided. The adaptor includes a first half having a center point, and a sidewall at least partially defining a plurality of bores. Each of the bores contains an aperture, and each of the bores terminates at the center point. The first half further includes a plurality of release tabs. Each release tab is configured to resiliently deflect through an aperture, and each release tab terminates at the center point. The adaptor further includes a second half, which is at least partially symmetric to the first half.
