Abstract: An assembly for joining two sections of garden hoses together, with the assembly formed of a male member that couples to a female member. Both members are formed at a first end with an externally corrugated tubular section that fits snugly inside of the end of a garden hose with segments of a shaped circular collar mounted to the corrugated tubular section to clamp externally about the end of the garden hose fitted over the corrugated section. The male fitting is formed at the second end of the fitting as a circular collar formed with a bead that projects from the inner face of the open end of the collar. A pair of pegs also project from the exterior of the male collar. The female fitting is formed at its second end as a circular collar of a size to fit over the male collar with shaped recesses to engage the bead and the pegs of the male collar.
