Abstract
The invention relates to a sanitary hose, particularly a connecting hose for connecting a sanitary fitting to a water feed line. The hose has a flexible, at least single-layer hose body (10) and an encasing tube (14) surrounding it substantially over its entire length. The encasing tube (14) surrounds the hose body (10) in clearance-free manner and is displaceable relative thereto. The application of the encasing tube takes place by the reversible elastic expansion thereof in an apparatus set up for this purpose.
