    • A quick connector assembly (10) and process for forming a coupling in a fluid line between a first and a second fluid tube comprises a receptacle body (20) having a cavity (29) extending through the receptacle body to the second fluid tube. A sealing section (28) is located within the cavity and a socket portion (27) extends from the sealing section. The socket portion includes wall (70) bordering a socket opening (74) in alignment with the cavity and includes a pair of latch openings (71) extending through a portion of the wall into the socket opening. A sealing member (30) having a receiver opening (39) is installed in the sealing section with the receiver opening in alignment with the socket opening and the cavity to the second tube. A bracket (50) installed on the wall includes a pair of spring latches (57), each spring latch extending through a respective one of the pair of latch openings into the socket opening. A first fluid tube (12) having an insertion portion and a raised upset (18) is placed through the socket opening into the receiver opening making a fluid connection to the second fluid tube and causing the upset to be captured by each spring latch. A verifier (80) having fixing fingers (87) and a pair of arms (82) is installed through respective recesses in the wall into the socket opening. Upon the capture of the first fluid tube upset by the spring latches, a force applied to the verifier causes each verifier arm to travel along the upset to rest below a respective spring latch and the fixing fingers to also capture the upset. Verifier symbols located on a surface of each verifier arm are visible through each latch openings verifying that the first fluid tube has been coupled to the receptacle body.
