ABSTRACT:
An end fitting is secured to a flexible metal hose comprised of a corrugated tube enclosed in a tubular braid in a manner that provides a single weld operation. An end of the hose is cut to bring the tube and braid ends into alignment. Thereafter, an end fitting is moved over the hose end and radially swaged into gripping engagement with the hose. A circumferential deep penetration weld integrally secures all the components, namely, the tube, the braid, and the fitting.
