Abstract
The present invention relates to a quick connection which comprises two elements, male and female, adapted to fit axially in each other. The body of the female element is equipped with a loaded bolt, mounted to slide in this body and pierced with a central opening for fit of the male element, the wall of this opening being equipped with three teeth offset with respect to one another along a median axis of the opening. The male element is provided with a shoulder adapted to rest selectively against one of the teeth. Means allow the downstream pipe to be placed in communication with the ambient atmosphere when the male element rests by its shoulder against the intermediate tooth.
