Abstract: A sewer hose including a corrugated central body integrally joined at opposing longitudinal ends by attachment collars, a first collar defining one or more locking channels, and a second collar defining one or more lugs sized and shaped for insertion into respective channels. A method of manufacturing the hose is also disclosed, including the steps of providing mold segments sized and shaped to produce the aforementioned collar sections as well as the corrugated central body, deploying them in a molding apparatus, and injecting a polymeric material into the mold segments so as to form a sewer hose with integrally attached male and female attachment collars, negating inefficient and ineffective attachment adapters.
