Abstract: A coupling apparatus and method is disclosed for coupling a first hose having groove means formed in the outer hose surface of the first hose to a first coupling member. The apparatus and method comprises an internal bore extending through the first coupling member with first coupling linking threads defined in the internal bore. A first attachment member includes a first attachment internal bore for receiving the first hose with a first input aperture communicating with the first attachment internal bore. The first hose is inserted into the first attachment internal bore and a flowable adhesive is injected into the first input aperture for enabling the adhesive to flow through the first attachment internal bore into a void defined by the first attachment member and the first hose and to flow into the groove means in the outer hose surface of the first hose.
