Abstract

A valve coupling assembly has a first fluid line connector coupled to a first fluid line and a second fluid line connector coupled to a second fluid line. In an operational state, the first and second fluid line connectors are engaged to each other for fluid communication between the first and second fluid lines. In a disengaged state, the first and second fluid line connectors are disengaged wherein the first and second fluid lines are disconnected. A first valve arranged in the first fluid line connector is configured to control a fluid flow in the first fluid line. In a closed state of the first valve, the first fluid line is sealed, and, in an open state of the first valve, the first fluid line is open. The second fluid line connector comprises at least one push element mounted to a body of the second fluid line connector.
