ABSTRACT:
A coupling apparatus and method is disclosed for coupling a first hose having groove means formed in the outer hose surface of the first hose to a first coupling member. The apparatus and method comprises an internal bore extending through the first coupling member with first coupling linking threads defined in the internal bore. A first attachment member includes a first attachment internal bore for receiving the first hose with a first input aperture communicating with the first attachment internal bore. The first hose is inserted into the first attachment internal bore and a flowable adhesive is injected into the first input aperture for enabling the adhesive to flow through the first attachment internal bore into a void defined by the first attachment member and the first hose and to flow into the groove means in the outer hose surface of the first hose. The adhesive cures within the void for bonding the first hose to the first attachment member and for creating first hose threads bonded to the first hose. The first hose threads couple with the first coupling linking threads for attaching the first hose to the first coupling member.
