Abstract
An improved hose coupling is disclosed. The coupling is comprised of a fitting and a ferrule to be radially crimped about the end of the fitting, securing a hose end. The coupling is provided with an extension against which the hose end abuts prior to crimping of the coupling. The extension also enables the hose material to flow axially during crimping.
