Original Abstract Submitted

The specification provides a connector for connection between a hose and a device in a fluid line of a fluid circuit, the device comprising a socket for coupling with the connector. The connector comprises a connector body having a device connector plug () and comprises a channel formed axially through the connector body between a distal end opening and a proximal end opening, the channel defining a fluid pathway. The connector further comprises a collar () arranged at a proximal end of the plug. The plug is configured to be receivable in a socket of the device, the device interface and socket formed for conformity and for secure coupling, the plug comprising an elongated body portion extending from the collar to a distal end of the connector. The plug comprising a seal () and a fastener () for engaging with the socket. Also provided is a connector and socket pair coding system for providing a coded connection between one or more connectors () and one or more device sockets () in a fluid circuit.
