Abstract
A coupling assembly includes a mechanical attachment to accommodate various diameter fluid passages and resists rotational forces of attaching and detaching a hose from the hose coupler. The mechanical attachment includes a shank having a shoulder defining a space with a conduit of the hose coupling assembly or with a spacer disposed in the conduit. A threaded coupler includes a projecting portion disposed adjacent to the shoulder. The threaded coupler includes a key, or a recess to mate with a key, to substantially prevent rotation of the threaded coupler with respect to the hose coupler.
