A method of use and apparatus for a quick connect coupling in a fluid system as disclosed herein. The quick connect coupling includes a female coupling assembly and a male coupling assembly. The female coupling assembly includes a female cone housing nestable with a female cone. At least one female flow hole is formed in each of the female cone housing and female cone. The male coupling assembly has a male cone housing nestable with a male cone. At least one male flow hole is formed in each of the male cone housing, and the male cone. The at least one female flow hole rotatably misaligns to seal in a manner that fluid is contained from leaking past the female coupling assembly. The at least one male flow hole rotatably misaligns to seal in a manner that fluid is contained from leaking past the male coupling assembly. The male coupling assembly is removably rotatably insertable into the female cone. The female coupling assembly and the male coupling assembly rotatably fluidly couple to create a fluid flow path through the quick connect coupling. The female coupling assembly and the male coupling assembly rotatably fluidly uncouple, thereby sealing the fluid flow path through the quick connect coupling. The male coupling assembly and the female coupling assembly are removably uncoupleable.
