A hose fitting for sealed connection to a hose includes: a first cylindrical member having a small diameter bore portion and a large diameter bore portion connected to the small diameter bore portion. A second cylindrical member is axially slidable within the large diameter bore portion and has a radial flange portion and an axial tubular portion extending from the radial flange portion, the radial flange portion being provided with a sealing member and the axial tubular portion being provided with a sealing member. A sleeve is provided within the large diameter bore portion and has an inclined surface. A collet is provided within the large diameter bore portion and has an outer surface engageable with the inclined surface of the sleeve and radially constrictible when moving axially within the sleeve, the hose being firmly fixed between the collet and the axial tubular portion of the second cylindrical member by axial outward movement of the collet. A stop member received in the large diameter bore portion is adapted to limit axial movement of the sleeve and collet; and means for permitting the sleeve and the collet to rotate about an axis of the first cylindrical member, the means being disposed between the sleeve and the stop member.
