Abstract of the Disclosure A novel fluid coupling assembly in combination with a fluid line provided with a controlled leak path. The fluid coupling assembly includes a coupling body 12 having generally concentric first and second bores 36, 38, of greater and lesser diameters, respectively, there being a radial surface 40 between the bores, the first bore also being provided with a generally cylindrical groove 44. A resilient retainer is assembled within the gen- erally cylindrical groove, the retainer having a plurality of prongs 52 which extend inwardly towards the second bore. A bushing 15 is force fit into the first bore between the cylin- drical groove 44 and the radial surface. A seal 16 is disposed within the coupling body between the bushing and the radial sur- face. The fluid line which is adapted to be associated with a coupling is provided with a flange which is engaged by the free ends of the resilient prongs when the fluid line is fully assem- bled within the fluid coupling assembly to hold the fluid line in place, the fluid line being provided with a controlled leak path 74 which permits the discharge of fluid only when the end portion is not fully assembled.
