Abstract
A hose fitting includes a fitting body, having an inlet opening, an expansion opening, and an outlet opening. An expansion disc is coupled with the expansion opening and is formed from a deformably resilient material. A portion of the expansion disc expands outwardly from the fitting body, when pressure within the fitting body increases, increasing a volume of the fitting body. The expansion disc contracts, as the pressure within the fitting body reduces. The expansion disc may be removably coupled with the expansion opening using an expansion nut, having an open center portion.
