A quick action coupling is disclosed for connecting simultaneously at least two pipes or hoses to the water box of a radiator or to the inlet and outlet members for the cooling fluid of a motor vehicle engine, said water box or said members comprising a generally cylindrical shaped chimney and n ways (n being a whole number at least equal to two) which open into said chimney, said coupling comprising n rigid conduits whose outlets into said connector are of a shape and position mating with the outlet orifices of said corresponding ways in the chimney of the water box or of said members so as to form n fluid circuits, as well as seals for sealing between the different fluid circuits with respect to each other, comprising: a male connector of a form mating with said chimney; and sealing of said circuits with respect to the outside is provided by a single additional seal whatever the number n of circuits.
A quick action coupling adapted for simultaneously connecting three pipes or hoses to corresponding cooling fluid circuits in a motor vehicle, wherein the cooling fluid circuits open into a generally cylindrical-shaped chimney, said quick action coupling comprising
