Claim 14:
15. A method for establishing a fluid connection utilizing the coupling assembly according to claim 1, comprising:
inserting the tip of the male member into the main body into the pre-latching position whereby the at least one retaining element moves radially outwardly and causes the at least one actuating segment to move radially inwardly into a position that blocks rearward movement of the verifier;
moving the male member from the pre-latching position, where the retaining element overlaps axially with the sealing section of the male member, to the latching position where the latching element is latched onto the at least one retaining element such that the at least one actuating segment to move radially outwardly; and
axially moving the verifier along the verification path from the at least one releasing position to at least one locking position, wherein the verifier in the axial direction is closer to the retainer in the locking position than in the releasing position, wherein the verifier is kept by the coupling assembly in the locking position when the male member is in the latching position, the verifier in the locking position limiting movement of the section of the retainer in radial direction so that the retainer is not actuatable in the locking position of the verifier but actuatable in the releasing position of the verifier.
