A fitting (30) for fluid communication with a fluid conduit includes a first fluid conduit connection portion (42), a second fluid conduit connection portion (42), a header (60) disposed axially between the first fluid conduit connection portion and the second fluid conduit connection portion, and a socket (70). A fluid fitting may include a nipple (40), a radial projection (48) connected to the nipple, and an axial protrusion (120) extending from the radial projection. The axial protrusion may be configured to protrude into an axial end of a fluid conduit (80). A fluid fitting may include a fluid conduit connection portion (42) and a dynamic tip (130) connected to an end of the fluid conduit connection portion. The dynamic tip may be configured to expand in response to an increase in fluid pressure.

A garden hose with an outer flexible sheath of spirally wound and linked turns of sheet material, an inner tube of flexible polymer inside the sheath and end couplers with nipples press fit into ends of the tube and connector mechanisms connecting the couplers to the outer sheath. Each connector mechanism has inner and outer press fit shells at the end of the sheath, with flared ends separated by a washer.

The disclosure herein relates to a flow path comprising half clamps 1 having an interior surface surrounding a flexible tubing 3 connection with a barb adapter 3, when assembled may be placed within a clamshell reduce or prevent deformation of the flexible tubing.

A connection arrangement between an aluminum tube and a heat exchanger, wherein the tube has an outer diameter D and comprises an end flange abutted against a connection flange of the heat exchanger and fastened thereto by means of a fastener. The tube further comprises an elbow arranged close to the end flange, and a rectilinear segment extending from the end flange to an end cross-section of the elbow. The elbow has a bend radius R, referred to the central axis of the tube, such that 0.5DRD and the end cross-section of the elbow is arranged at a distance d from the connection flange of the heat exchanger such that d0.5D. The fastener consists of a tube clamp of plastic material encircling the connection flange of the heat exchanger and the end flange of the tube. The tube clamp comprises a pair of clamp halves snap-fitted to each other.

Disclosed is a hose assembly integrating a male coupling, a fixedly attached bearing, and a hand grip system. Some embodiments further comprise a hose tube. In such embodiments, the hose tube has both proximal and distal ends, with the male coupling attached to the proximal end. The bearing system connects an inner race to the male coupling and an outer race, which rotates around the inner race. This bearing links to a hand grip, facilitating ease of manipulation and preventing kinks. Some embodiments utilize UV-resistant materials and integrate water filters, ensuring clean water flow. An expandable hose design, anti-leak features, and optional integrated hose reel are also described. The fixed connection between the male coupling and the hose tube promoted durability.
