The present disclosure provides a coupling assembly (12) for an ostomy appliance (10) comprising a locking arrangement (60), a first coupling and a second coupling. The locking arrangement (60) comprises a locking ring (61) and first and second grips (70, 71) mounted to the locking ring (61). The locking ring (61) is mounted to first and/or second coupling, forms an inner circumference (62) and is adjustable between locked and unlocked configurations. In the locked configuration the locking ring (61) is for maintaining the first and second couplings (20, 40) in a coupled configuration and the inner circumference (62) is less than in the unlocked configuration. The first and second grips (70, 71) are positioned about the locking ring (61) to be moveable towards one another to increase the inner circumference (62) and adjust the locking ring (61) from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration.
