?STRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A quick-connect fitting or coupling assembly is adapted for releasably connecting and disconnecting a pair of fluid conduits in fluid communication with one another. The assembly includes a socket on one of the fluid conduits for receiving the other fluid conduit inserted longitudinally therein into an interlocking engagement with a resilient barb member. A removal member is selectively slidably movable in the socket for deflecting the barb member out of such interlocking engagement in order to remove the previously inserted fluid conduit. The assembly also preferably includes lateral support members for laterally supporting the fluid conduits relative to one another thus strengthening the connection therebetween. One of the preferred embodiments includes one or more valve mechanisms for preventing fluid flow into or out of the disconnected fluid conduits, while allowing fluid flow therebetween when the fluid conduits are connected to one another. Other embodiments include a feature by which the fitting assembly is relatively tamper-resistant.
