The a fitting includes a nipple having a first end insertable in the hose end and a second end, a flange surrounding the nipple, and a sleeve disposed over the nipple first end. With the hose end being inserted between the sleeve and the nipple, the second nipple end being slidably received coaxially in the connector, and the shell halves being closed over the fitting with the flange being received in a first cavity portion thereof, and with the connector being received in a second cavity of the shell, the fitting is slidably movable in the shell responsive to fluid pressure from a release position to a locked position wherein the flange interferingly engages the first cavity portion preventing the shell halves from being opened.
