HOSE CONNECTING METHOD AND CONNECTOR ARRANGEMENT.

摘要

A new method (4) providing a hose pipe connection is disclosed which starts with a pipe (2) having an enlarged end portion (4). A sleeve (10) is introduced into the end (5) of the flexible hose (3). The sleeve (10) has an inner diameter (11) which is equal to the inner diameter (9) of the hose (3). Preferably the inner diameter of the sleeve (10) is increased while the end (5) of the hose (3) is already placed on the sleeve. The hose fitted with the sleeve (10) is then introduced into the enlarged end (4) of the pipe (2). Crimping of the enlarged end (4) will then secure the sleeve (10) and the hose (3) and provide a fluid tight and mechanically sturdy connection.
