Abstract
A hose coupling in which an insert is insertable within the end of the hose and a ferrule is swaged radially around the hose to grip the hose between the ferrule and insert is adapted to accommodate different hoses of the same nominal bore while having a stop member on the ferrule to contact an abutment on the insert and provide relative location therebetween before swaging, the stop member being collapsible on swaging to prevent the insert being crushed. A hose stop may also be provided to position the end of the hose with the coupling.
