Abstract
A fitting is secured to a flexible metal hose comprised of a corrugated tube, braid, and sleeve in a manner that provides a single weld operation. An end of the tube is axially compressed to define a generally planar surface with the braid and sleeve ends. Thereafter, a consumable flanged fitting is welded in a single weld to integrally secure all four components, namely, the tube, braid, sleeve, and fitting together.
