Fitting assembly for collapse-resistant hose

A hose fitting assembly for a collapse-resistant hose with at least one inner layer and an outer sheath layer, the hose fitting assembly comprising:

• a sleeve having a forward sleeve end portion and a rearward sleeve end portion, the rearward sleeve end portion having an opening adapted to receive an end portion of the collapse-resistant hose;
• a fitting having a rearward fitting end portion that is operatively coupled to the forward sleeve end portion;
• the rearward fitting end portion having an internal surface that forms an internal cavity configured to receive an end portion of the at least one inner layer of the collapse-resistant hose;
• a nipple operatively coupled to the fitting and extending in a rearward direction through the internal cavity of the fitting, the nipple being configured to fit within an internal passage of the collapse-resistant hose;
• and
• at least one seal operatively mounted in the internal cavity of the fitting and configured to seal against an outer surface of the at least one inner layer of the collapse-resistant hose;
• wherein the rearward fitting end portion is flared radially outwardly to receive the end portion of the collapse-resistant hose and is configured to be crimped radially inwardly into a sealed state in which the at least one seal engages with the outer surface of the at least one inner layer of the collapse-resistant hose.
