I received my new DIY kit today and while looking it over I noticed that the quick couplers had a brass ring inside that prevents the balls from moving, which prevents the sleeve from sliding more than 1/16". This ring rest on the o-ring and extends to the center of the 6 balls. It seems like the ring should be removed so that the sleeve can slide down to the snap ring.

Is this common or am I missing something?

When the coupler is pressed on the fitting it will depress the coupler allowing it to seat correctly.

Better to ask just in case. I've never seen this set up before.

Thanks TRB.
