Claims9
A length of flexible hose of corrugated form with walls of generally constant thickness connected to an integral male coupling component at one end and a female coupling component at the other end, the male coupling component having a plurality of outwardly extending rings spaced apart along the length thereof of decreasing diameter towards the free end and the female coupling component providing a sleeve to extend over the male coupling component and the male coupling component is more rigid than the female coupling component defining a means allowing said female coupling component to deflect inwardly in response to reduced fluid pressure to provide a seal between said female coupling component and said male coupling component.
