Abstract
A sewer hose connection utilizes a helical clamp which can be manually turned around a convoluted sewer hose placed onto a rigid fitting. The helical clamp is formed from wire and is contained in an annular groove of the fitting. The helical clamp positioned over a typical RV sewer hose end convolution having a wire spiral can be rotated to draw the hose further onto the fitting to form a sealing and mechanical connection.
