A connector for joining the ends of flexible hoses comprising a generally cylindrical body tapering from a central section to a smaller diameter cylindrical section extending to an annular end section. The tapered section and the end section comprise circular barb rings having frustonconical sections and sharp edges. Each section is in turn comprised of several annular barb rings each having a frustoconical outer face and sharp edges. The connector is particularly suited for applications where longitudinal and lateral forces on the tube must be tolerated, as well as variations in tube diameter.
