  • Patent number: 8360478
    Abstract: A hose fitting assembly is provided, wherein the components are operably engaged with a length of hose to form a sacrificial construction. An end fitting having an insertion stem is disposed within a portion of the hose, wherein a clamping sleeve receiving a length of the hose threadingly engages the end fitting. A swaging collar is slide along the hose to threadingly engage the clamping sleeve, such that complete threaded engagement of the swaging collar and the clamping sleeve circumferentially compress and deform a portion of the clamping sleeve to clamp a portion of the hose intermediate the clamping sleeve and the insertion stem, and partially deformed threads on at least one of the clamping sleeve and the swaging collar. The hose fitting assembly can cooperatively engage a flexible high pressure metal braided hose, wherein the metal braid is formed of a less than full tensile strength steel, such as half hard stainless steel.
