Abstract: A reinforced hose includes an inner layer, a reinforcing intermediate layer, and an outer layer. The inner layer has and inwardly projecting sealing rib extending circumferentially on an inner surface thereof. The inner surface may also have an end stop to be engaged by a fitting received in the hose. The outer layer has a pair of annular clamp guides projecting outwardly which are axially spaced from an end of the hose. The sealing rib is positioned between the clamp guides to indicate an optimum location for a hose clamp.
