A converter hose includes a self-sealing connector coupled to a hose. Related methods include attaching the converter hose to a shower head, faucet or spigot.

A bidirectional airflow attachment hose may include an elastomeric connector and a rigid compression fitting having an opening aligned with the opening of the elastomeric connector. Related methods include attaching the bidirectional airflow attachment to a nozzle.

A connecting assembly for operatively and fluidly connecting at least first and second hose segments together. The connecting assembly includes at least one insert portion, and corresponding bulge(s), securing device(s) and fluid passage(s). The securing device is removably mounted onto and displaceable about a portion of a given length span of the insert portion, and configured for operation between a first release mode, where the securing device being is drawn away from the bulge and thus an extremity of the hosing segment is releasable, and a second connecting mode, where the securing device is removably and selectively displaced over an outward overlapping of the extremity of the hosing segment extending over the bulge, so as to securely maintain said extremity of the hosing segment in place, operatively against the bulge and thus, prevent the first extremity of the first hosing segment from being removed from the bulge. Quick and easy.

A pipeline mounting head for a vehicle, comprising a mounting plate, two branch pipelines located on one side of the mounting plate, and a main pipeline located on the other side of the mounting plate and communicating with the branch pipelines, where a snap-fit member is provided on the mounting plate, and is located on the same side of the mounting plate as the branch pipelines. The snap-fit member is arranged on the mounting plate, so that the vehicle pipeline mounting head can be easily fixed to a vehicle, has a simple mounting structure, and is easy to operate. Further disclosed are a pipeline structure and a vehicle having the pipeline structure.

A converter hose includes an elastomeric connector having a passageway therethrough and having a proximal end; and a hose. The elastomeric connector has a distal end directly secured to a first end of the hose; wherein the hose comprises a relatively more rigid material than the elastomeric connector; wherein the elastomeric connector has a wall thickness of about 1/32 to ; wherein the elastomeric connector is sufficiently elastomeric such that a sufficient portion of an inside surface area thereof directly contacts a sufficient portion of a surface area on an outer surface of an opening through which fluid flows to form a vacuum seal when in use; and wherein the elastomeric connector does not require protrusions or structures on the elastomeric connector to grip the outer surface of the opening through which fluid flows when in use. Related methods of use are also included.
