An example of typical banjo fitting components (left) with an identical fitting connecting a hose to a tee fitting. A general schematic, not to scale, showing the fluid path in an assembled banjo fitting. A pair of banjo bolts as used in automotive braking.
A selection of Storz hose couplings. A hose coupling is a connector on the end of a hose to connect (or couple) it with another hose or with a tap or a hose appliance, such as an irrigation sprinkler. It is usually made of steel, brass, stainless steel, aluminium or plastic.

A barb (or hose barb), which connects flexible hose or tubing to pipes, typically has a male-threaded end which mates with female threads. The other end of the fitting has a single- or multi-barbed tube—a long tapered cone with ridges, which is inserted into a flexible hose.
A 37° flare type end fitting for flexible hose. The AN thread (also A-N) is a particular type of fitting used to connect flexible hoses and rigid metal tubing that carry fluid. It is a US military-derived specification that dates back to World War II and stems from a joint standard agreed upon by the Army Air Corps and Navy, hence AN.
In the United Kingdom and in Ireland this system is usually referred to by its pin shape, simply being known as "round pin plugs" or "round pin sockets". It is often associated with obsolete wiring installations – or where it is found in modern wiring, it is confined to special use cases, particularly switch-controlled lamps and stage lighting.
Twist-on wire connectors are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. While their exterior covering is typically made from insulating plastic, their means of connection is a tapered coiled metal insert, which threads onto the wires and holds them securely.
The metal hose properties are determined by several factors: the profile shape, the strip dimensions, the material and, if applicable, the type of seal. Stripwound hoses are available with round and polygonal cross-sections. Automotive engineering most often uses metallically sealed stripwound hoses.
