Abstract
A quick disconnect has a first member having an outlet with at least one passageway, an umbrella valve movably attached within the outlet for sealing the passageway, and a second member having an inlet with at least one finger which releasably engages the passageway and displaces the umbrella valve when the first and second members are removably engaged, thereby unsealing the umbrella valve from the passageway and allowing open communication from the outlet to the inlet.
