Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for pre-conditioned air (PCA) hoses and an assembly for a plurality of PCA hoses. The present invention further provides a method of assembling a plurality of PCA hoses. A hose in the assembly has an outer vinyl layer and further an insulative layer and an inner antibacterial layer. Hook and loop fasteners are employed to provide a way for attaching and securing junctions between hoses in the assembly, where two ends are butted together to form one of the junctions. The two ends each have a first portion of the hook and loop fastener attached substantially about the circumference of the hose. An elongated member having a second portion of the hook and loop fastener is attached at one of the ends where it is effective for wrapping about the circumference of the hoses thereby connecting and covering the butted junction between hoses.
