A metal socket (20) for attachment to a flexible pressure hose comprises a cylindrical metal sleeve (22) defining an axis, with a plurality of non-annular grooves (26) formed in an outer surface thereof and corresponding non-annular projections (28) formed opposite said grooves on an inner surface thereof. The socket is both economical to produce and exhibits improved strength in gripping the end of a hydraulic hose. |
