Abstract: A protective collar for hose connections consists of a hard clamping ring or collar comprised of two semicircular segments in the shape of a disk, the segments mating together. The center opening of the disk clamps onto the ferrules of one or both connecting hoses. The segments are held together by screws or bolts and nuts which pass through internal bores in the segments. The protective collar is of a greater outside diameter than the ferrules so that the protector, And not the ferrules, will absorb any impact from being stepped on, dropped on the floor, or pinned beneath a heavy object.
