Abstract

A sanitary hose coupling (1) including a tubular coupling base body (2) which, in at least one of the base body end regions thereof, has a hose connector (3) profiled in at least one sub-region for a flexible water hose (4) to be pushed on, and also includes a crimp sleeve (6) which, when deformed, fixes an end (5) of the water hose (4) encompassed by the crimp sleeve (6) on the hose connector (3). The hose coupling (1) provides that the end (5) of the water hose (4) encompassed by the crimp sleeve (6) can be fixed in a rotationally fixed manner on the hose connector (3), and that the end (5) of the hose can be pushed onto a profiled section (7) of the hose connector (3) that is not round in the circumferential direction. Since the hose coupling permits a torque transmission between the water hose (4) and the coupling base body (2), the hose coupling is able to substantially facilitate the mounting and dismantling of a water hose (4) even under restricted spatial conditions.
