A hose assembly includes a hose, a connector body, and a collar. The connector body has an outer end portion defining a fluid connector, an inner end defining a nose portion received in an inner bore of the hose end portion, and an intermediate portion including first and second annular flanges spaced apart to define a dog lock groove. The collar includes an outer end portion defining an inner radial dog lock received in the dog lock groove, an annular step portion extending radially outward of and axially inward of the dog lock in axial alignment with the first annular flange, and an inner end portion extending radially outward of and axially inward from the step portion, the inner end portion being in radial compression against an outer surface of the hose end portion.

Crimped end connection for flexible hose

A hose assembly includes a hose defining an internal fluid passage and an exterior surface, an end connection attached to a first end of the hose, an insulation material wrapped onto the exterior surface of the hose, a cover installed over the insulation material, and an elastomeric sleeve extending over and in compressive engagement with at least a portion of the end connection and the cover. The insulation material, the cover, and the elastomeric sleeve are each rated for continuous use at a temperature of at least about 135&#xb0; C.
