Abstract: This invention relates in general to a multilayer tube and methods of making the same. In particular, this invention relates to a multilayer tube used as a riser, such as those that may be connected to shutoff or “stop” valve on one end and a plumbing hook-up to the other end. The multilayer tube comprises a first inner polymer layer and a second outer polymer layer, wherein the first and second polymer layers are not substantially bonded to each other. To facilitate use, the tube may additionally comprise one or more overmolded components, such as pipe connectors, plumbing connections, plumbing fittings, valve connectors and appliance connectors. The layers are not substantially bonded.

Abstract: A hose coupling for attachment to an end portion of a hose. The hose coupling may include a fitting, a termination attachment, and an end termination. The fitting may be attachable to the end portion of the hose. The fitting may include a ferrule and a stem. The ferrule may be attached to the stem. The termination attachment may be attached to the fitting in opposing relationship to the end portion of the hose. The end termination may be associated with the termination attachment. In some examples, the end termination is threaded, welded, integrally formed, integrally machined, or otherwise associated with the termination attachment.
