Abstract: The present application relates to connectors with an indicator feature for providing visibility within a connector body. The connectors include a connector body made of either a transparent or opaque material to provide visibility inside the connector body. The connector body defines a zone of indication that provides visual indication of two positions of the conduit. A first position of the conduit includes a position wherein the conduit is inserted beyond a seal portion of the connector but not fully inserted to a predetermined depth. And, a second position of the conduit includes a position wherein the conduit is sealed and fully inserted within the connector body to the predetermined depth (e.g., the predetermined depth includes a depth where an end of the conduit engages a conduit stop of the connector body).
