Abstract:

A hose assembly includes a fitting including a fitting end received in a shell. A sealing element is located at a junction between the fitting and the shell. The first fitting end has a nipple and the shell has an angled end that define a sealing space, and the sealing element is positioned within the sealing space. External pressure at the junction compresses the sealing element within the sealing space to form an energized seal. The shell may include a first shell end and a second shell end, the fitting end of the fitting being received within the first shell end of the shell. The shell my include a plurality of barbs that extend radially inward from an inner diameter of the shell that can grip into a hose, and a barb located closest to the shell end extends radially inward a smaller distance than other barbs to provide a barrier against ingression of contaminants.
