A hose assembly includes a hose, a connector body, and a collar. The connector body has an outer end portion defining a fluid connector, an inner end defining a nose portion received in an inner bore of the hose end portion, and an intermediate portion including first and second annular flanges spaced apart to define a dog lock groove. The collar includes an outer end portion defining an inner radial dog lock received in the dog lock groove, an annular step portion extending radially outward of and axially inward of the dog lock in axial alignment with the first annular flange, and an inner end portion extending radially outward of and axially inward from the step portion, the inner end portion being in radial compression against an outer surface of the hose end portion.

A multi-lumen hose connector nipple and a multi-lumen hose equipped therewith. The multi-lumen hose connector nipple includes a nipple basic section through which a plurality of separate fluid conduits extend in each case between a first and a second nipple connector side, a plurality of hose lumen plug-in sockets integral with the nipple basic section, which sockets extend juxtaposed on the first nipple connector side with an intermediate hose lumen wall accommodation space left therebetween, wherein a socket interior space of each of the hose lumen plug-in sockets is assigned to a respective one of the fluid conduits and opens out axially, and a socket strutting structure within the socket interior space of at least one of the hose lumen plug-in sockets.

The invention relates to a hose connector with an inner sleeve (2) and an outer sleeve (3) between which an annular space (5) is formed at least in a first end region (4), in which annular space one end (7) of a fluid line (8) is received. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the fluid-tight connection of one end of a fluid line to a hose connector. The hose connector is intended to be permanently and securely connected to the fluid line with little effort. Therefore, by means of crimping the inner sleeve (2) and the outer sleeve (3) in the end region (4), a force-fitting and form-fitting connection between the end (7) of the fluid line (8) and the hose connector (1) is formed.

Techniques for implementing and/or operating a pipeline system that includes a pipe segment and a reusable pipe fitting. The pipe segment includes tubing that defines a pipe bore and a fluid conduit within a tubing annulus of the pipe segment. The reusable pipe fitting includes a fitting body that defines a body bore and a pipe engaging assembly including a collapsible collar with teeth that extend radially inward. The collapsible collar contracts radially inward such that the collapsible collar engages the tubing of the pipe segment to facilitate securing the reusable pipe fitting to the pipe segment when the pipe engaging assembly is secured to the fitting body and expands radially outward such that the collapsible collar disengages from the tubing of the pipe segment to enable the reusable pipe fitting to be re-deployed at another pipe segment when the pipe engaging assembly is unsecured from the fitting body.

An adapter for an expandable hose is an apparatus used to connect an expandable hose to other fluid management tools. The apparatus is also configured to prevent leakages in multi-channel expandable hoses. An objective of the apparatus is to provide a connection for expandable hoses. The apparatus is designed to prevent leakage between expandable hoses and the apparatus. A threaded connector enables attachment of the expandable hose to other hoses. Another unit fits inside the inner channel of an expandable hose, while a third part surrounds the inner channel of the expandable hose. An annular fastener secures the outer channel of the expandable hose to the inner channel. A cover or housing may be added to protect components from damage due to external stimuli. Altogether, the apparatus enables a user to securely attach an expandable hose to a spout, faucet, spicket, another hose, or a variety of other devices.

A hydration system including a fluid reservoir, a fluid path in communication with the reservoir, and a magnetic quick connect interposed in the fluid path is disclosed. A fluid delivery system for a hydration system is also disclosed that includes a magnetic quick connect interposed in a fluid delivery path of the delivery system. The magnetic quick connect can also be used in a wide variety of fluid delivery systems. A kit for forming a fluid delivery system for a hydration system is also disclosed, as are various components of a hydration system.
