Abstract: An endform connector having an axial bore through which a fluid is conveyed comprising: a rigid tubular member having a first terminal end, a second terminal end, a channel having an inner diameter extending from the first terminal end to the second terminal end through which a fluid is transported, a stem portion extending a fixed distance from the first terminal end, and at least one sealing member extending radially outward from the stem portion forming a radially increasing surface having a tapered profile terminating in a rim, which exhibits an ellipsoidal perimeter, adapted to be inserted into an inner channel of a fluid transport hose; wherein the endform connector is sealed to the fluid transport hose; and, a connector portion on the second terminal end adapted to be coupled with a fluid conveying structure.

Abstract: An endform connector having an axial bore through which a fluid is conveyed comprising: a rigid tubular member having a first end, a second end, an annular channel having an inner diameter extending from the first end to the second end through which a fluid is transported, a stem portion extending a fixed distance from the first end, and at least one sealing member extending outward from the stem portion forming a surface having a tapered profile terminating in an outwardly extending rim, which exhibits an ellipsoidal perimeter adapted to be inserted into an inner channel of a fluid transport hose, wherein the endform connector is sealed to a fluid transport hose; and a connector portion on the second end adapted to be coupled with a second fluid conveying structure, and a method for assembling an endform connector to a hose are described.
