Abstract
A branched hose construction, part therefor and methods of making the same are provided, the method comprising the steps of disposing a mark on a length of hose that straddles the location where the hose is to be cut into two hose sections whereby the cutting of the length of hose into the two hose sections provides two parts of the mark respectively on the cut ends of the two hose sections, aligning the parts of the mark with orienting means on a T-connector during the step of telescoping the cut ends of the two hose sections onto the opposite ends of the T-connector so that such oriented relation is permanently maintained after a sleeve-like member has been injection molded from polymeric material over the cut ends of the hose section and a part of the T-connector body that is exposed between the cut ends of the two hose sections.
