Abstract

A quick-connection type connector is disclosed for the coupling of high-pressure fluid flow lines, which connector utilizes an externally threaded female portion and a tapered male portion with a rotatable collar mounted thereon. Elastomeric seal means are provided as well as a metal-to-metal seal to protect the elastomeric seal means, and a locking assembly to prevent backing off of the threaded portion.
