FITTING FOR A FLEXIBLE METAL HOSE

摘要

A flexible hose assembly (10) formed from corrugated metal tube (16) has a fitting (12) permanently crimped to the end (18) of the hose (14). The fitting (12) includes an elongated stem (30) having a first end (34) adapted to be coupled to an appropriate fitting surface and a second end (36) configured to be received within the hose (14). A sealing member (40) disposed on the second end (36) of the stem seals the fitting (12) between the corrugated metal tube (16) and the stem (30). A ferrule (50) is placed over the hose (14) and is crimped to compress the hose (14) and sealing member (40) between the ferrule (50) and stem (30).
