Abstract
A valve or other device is attached to the end of a garden hose by means of an adapter that is first attached by swaging to an end of the hose. The adapter has a prong end that is pushed into the bore of the valve and is held there irreversibly by a retaining ring that is carried in a groove of the prong end, to mate with a groove in the bore. An O-ring seal prevents leakage.
