A sealing member, whose unique manner of movement provides an improvement to a quick-connect valve assembly, for fluid control. A coupling force, required to couple the quick-connect valve assembly, containing the sealing member, is substantially reduced, resulting in an improvement to a typical quick-connect valve assembly (prior-art). The quick-connect valve assembly is comprised of at least a male coupler, a female coupler and the sealing member. During the resultant coupling, the sealing member's features ensure that said sealing member is firstly moved in a rotational manner and then secondly, if desired, in a more typical translational manner. The sealing member design allows backward compatibility with the typical quick connect valve assemblies. This backward compatibility allows a simple one-part replacement of a typical sealing member (prior-art) with said sealing member in order to benefit from this improvement.
