Hoses Couplings And Adaptors

A hose coupling is a connector on the end of a hose to connect (or couple) it with another hose or with a tap or a hose appliance, such as an irrigation sprinkler. It is usually made of steel, brass, stainless steel, aluminium or plastic.

Due to the great variety of the designs and the number of countries in which they were created, it is difficult to trace the origin of many. Patents that cover designs similar to those below include:

  • 1876: Hose-coupling, No. 175,232.[1]

  • 1915: Coupling. US 1248558 A[3]
