Abstract
To complete a transfer of solid material such as mulch, multiple hoses may have to be connected together, therefore, such hoses have hose connection fittings attached at their ends. A hose connector has a male fitting connected to a first hose and a female fitting connected to the second hose. The male fitting may be inserted into the female fitting and the two fittings are secured together thereby connecting a first hose to a second hose. The hose connector has a locking assembly consisting of set screw, a radial hole defined in the female fitting, and a recess for receiving the set screw in the male fitting.
