Abstract
A hose having clamps secured at opposing ends is disclosed. The clamps provide a compressive force to secure the hose to an appropriately sized tube. A portion of the clamp is disposed between an inner surface and an outer surface of the hose to help prevent accidental removal. A portion of the clamp may extend out an opening expending from a passageway formed between the inner and outer surface. The openings at the opposing end of the hose may be rotational aligned relative to each other and optionally to curves in the hose itself.
