A ferrule (10) for attaching a hose end portion (38) to a male-stem (32), the ferrule (10) having a tubular socket portion (12) that retains a bendable sleevelike insert (14,60) having substantially a C-shape when viewed in cross-section. Oppositely facing circumjacent edges (28,30,62,64) of the C-shaped insert (14,60) may have teeth (66) as a means for interdigitating with each other when the ferrule (60) is used to couple hose (38). <IMAGE> |
