Abstract: A reusable hose fitting, which may be assembled using simple hand tools, includes a fitting body having an exteriorly threaded section on which is received a threaded bore of a compression nut. The fitting body includes a nipple having a diameter somewhat less than the threaded section and joined thereto by an annular locating surface. A compressible sleeve is located within the compression nut and has a pair of axially spaced, frusto-conical exterior surfaces which cooperate with complementary interior surfaces of the compression nut to exert a pair of axially spaced zones of pressure to clamp a hose, that has its end positioned against the locating surface of the fitting body, against the nipple. Cooperating surfaces of the compression nut and compressible sleeve prevent the latter from being accidentally dislodged from the compression nut once inserted past the threaded bore of the nut.
