A fitting assembly for a hose comprising a nipple having a plurality of spaced separate annular barbs thereon adapted to dig into the internal wall of a hose and threads remote from said barbs for coupling the nipple to a socket. A socket is provided which includes internal threads for threading engagement to the threads on said nipple and spaced internal annular teeth adapted to bite or dig into the outer wall of a hose thereby crushing and clamping a hose between the barbs and teeth and filling the space between the nipple and socket adjacent the barbs and teeth when the socket is threaded to said nipple. In this manner, the socket is retained to the nipple separate from the seal provided between the nipple, socket and hose and oil cannot lead past the barbs and teeth. <IMAGE> |
