Wherein, the female quick connect end has a first cylindrical opening having a first diameter, a second cylindrical opening having a second diameter, the second diameter being smaller than the first diameter, a female transition profile defined between the first cylindrical opening and the second cylindrical opening, the female transition profile providing a transition from the first diameter of the first cylindrical opening to the second diameter of the second cylindrical opening. Wherein, the female quick connect end is coupleable to a male quick connect end having a male transition profile, the female transition profile being different from the male transition profile.
