A connector coupling that comprises a connector body, a first collar that receives the connector body, and second collar that surrounds the first collar. A movable ratchet ring is supported by the connector body and includes at least one locking member. The movable ratchet ring is axially movable with respect to the first collar between engaged and disengaged positions. A stationary ratchet ring is coupled to the first collar and includes at least one locking member. When the movable ratchet ring is in the engaged position, the locking members of the rings are engaged, and rotating the second collar from the first position to the second position with respect to the first collar moves the movable ratchet ring to the disengaged position away from the stationary ratchet ring such that the locking members are disengaged, thereby allowing rotation of the first collar with respect to the connector body.
