Coupling systems including interlocking male and female members are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a first coupling including a sidewall having an annular spring. The example apparatus also includes a second coupling to be coupled to the first coupling. The second coupling has an annular wall including a seal. The seal is to sealingly engage the annular spring when the second coupling is coupled to the first coupling.

1. An apparatus, comprising: a male coupling including a first sidewall having a first wall portion, a second wall portion, and a first recess between the first wall portion and the second wall portion, the first recess enabling relative movement between the first wall portion and the second wall portion; anda female coupling to be coupled to a pouch, the female coupling including a second sidewall and an interior wall spaced apart from the second sidewall, the interior wall having a flexible member, wherein the flexible member and the interior wall of the female coupling provide a second recess that is smaller than the first recess,wherein the first sidewall of the male coupling is configured to be received between the second sidewall and the interior wall of the female coupling to form a seal between the second wall portion of the male coupling and the flexible member of the female coupling, andwherein a thickness of the flexible member is smaller than a thickness of the interior wall. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the male coupling includes a peripheral extension. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the female coupling includes a protrusion configured to cooperate with the peripheral extension to lock the female coupling to the male coupling. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first recess extends from a first end of the first sidewall to a medial portion of the first sidewall. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the female coupling is slidably coupled to the male coupling when the first sidewall of the male coupling is received between the second sidewall and the interior wall of the female coupling. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first recess is annular. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first wall portion has a first lower end extending to a first plane, and the second wall portion has a second lower end extending to a second plane parallel to and spaced apart from the first plane. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the second lower end extends past a medial portion of the first wall portion. 9. An apparatus, comprising: a first coupling including a sidewall having an annular spring and an extension; anda second coupling to be coupled to the first coupling, the second coupling having a protrusion and an annular wall including a seal, wherein the seal engages the annular spring and the extension is movable relative to the second coupling when the second coupling is coupled to the first coupling,wherein a thickness of the annular wall and a thickness of the seal are different. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the annular spring comprises a first wall portion and a second wall portion defining a recess between the first wall portion and the second wall portion. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the first wall portion has a first lower end extending to a first plane, and the second wall portion has a second lower end extending to a second plane parallel to and spaced apart from the first plane. 12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the sidewall of the first coupling is a first sidewall, and wherein a portion of the first sidewall is configured to be received in a channel between the annular wall and a second sidewall of the second coupling. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein a medial wall extends between the annular wall and the second sidewall of the second coupling. 14. The apparatus of claim 9 further comprising a tape collar coupled to the first coupling. 15. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first coupling and the second coupling define a passageway. 16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the extension and the protrusion are configured to lockingly engage the first coupling and the second coupling. 17. An apparatus, comprising: a male coupling including a first sidewall having a generally V-shaped cross-sectional profile and a first recess; anda female coupling including a second sidewall having a generally U-shaped cross-sectional profile and a seal providing a second recess, the first sidewall configured to interlock with the second sidewall,wherein the second sidewall is thicker than the seal, andwherein the second recess is smaller than the first recess. 18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first sidewall includes an outwardly extending extension and the second sidewall includes an inwardly extending protrusion, the extension and the protrusion configured to interlock the male coupling with the female coupling. 19. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first sidewall defines a first aperture and the second sidewall defines a second aperture, the first aperture and the second aperture configured to define a passageway when the male coupling is interlocked with the female coupling. 20. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the second recess is defined between the seal and a portion of the second sidewall.
