ABSTRACT:
This disclosure deals with a fitting and with a method of assembling such a fitting with a hose. The fitting includes a socket-nipple and a set of exchangeable inserts. The socket-nipple forms an annular space which receives an end section of a hose, and the insert is positioned within the annular space and around the end section of the hose. Each socket-nipple is manufactured for use with a particular hose size (the inner diameter of the hose) and is provided in combination with a set of inserts of different thicknesses and designs, the inserts being matched for use with different hose types and thicknesses. Prior to assembly of the hose and fitting, a fastener may be secured to the hose in the instance where the hose has a reinforcement. The fastener prevents the reinforcement from flaring and it forms part of the completed hose and fitting assembly.
