a housing;

a flow passage insert disposed at least partially within the housing and being movable relative to the housing between a disconnected position and a connected position, the flow passage insert having a flow path defined from a first end of the flow passage insert to a second end of the flow passage insert;

a moveable connector being disposed in fluid communication with the flow path of the flow passage insert, the moveable connector having at least one orifice, the movable connector being movable between a forward fluid flow position and a backward fluid position relative to the flow passage insert, the movable connector having a ledge portion at a first end of the movable connector; the movable connector additionally being movable relative to the housing; and

a connecting collar being disposed between the flow passage insert and the moveable connector, the connecting collar having an extending lip at a first end of the connecting collar and being coupled to the flow passage insert at a second end of the connecting collar, the extending lip of the connecting collar contacting the ledge portion of the movable connector, wherein the movable connector moves substantially in conjunction with the flow passage insert and relative to the housing when the flow passage insert moves from the connected position to the disconnected position.

10. The quick connect fluid valve assembly of claim 9 , further comprising a reverse flow biasing member, the reverse follow biasing member being disposed between a portion of the quick connector and a portion of the flow passage insert, the reverse flow biasing member biasing the quick connector towards the first position.

11. The quick connect fluid valve assembly of claim 10 , wherein the reverse flow biasing member comprises a wave spring.

12. The quick connect fluid valve assembly of claim 10 , wherein the reverse flow biasing member comprises a coil spring.

13. The quick connect fluid valve assembly of claim 9 , wherein the movable connector additionally has an O-ring within an O-ring channel at a second end of the movable connector adapted to contact the housing to form a fluid tight seal when the flow passage insert is in the disconnected position.

14. The quick connect fluid valve assembly of claim 9 , wherein the movable connector additionally has an O-ring within an O-ring channel at a second end of the movable connector adapted to contact the housing to form a fluid tight seal when the quick connector is in the second position.

15. The quick connect fluid valve assembly of claim 9 , wherein the movable connector additionally has a plurality of orifices.

16. A quick connect fluid valve assembly comprising:

a housing;

a flow passage insert being disposed at least partially within the housing and being movable relative to the housing the flow passage insert forming a flow path from a first end of the flow passage insert to a second end of the flow passage insert;

a movable connector being disposed in fluid communication with the flow path of the flow passage insert and having at least one orifice, the movable connector being movable between a forward fluid flow position allowing forward fluid flow within the flow path of the flow passage insert and a backward fluid flow position preventing backward fluid flow within the flow path of the flow passage insert.

17.
