Abstract
Abstract A composite male hose coupler comprising a metallic tail piece and an integral plastic nut, and a method of manufacture thereof, are disclosed. The metallic tail piece is formed of annealed brass and includes a cylindrical portion terminating in a radial flange portion disposed generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical portion. The plastic nut is formed with a lip portion molded around the entire peripheral margin of the flange portion of said tail piece, and a cylindrical portion disposed oppositely from the tail piece. The outer surface of the cylindrical portion of the plastic nut is provided with threads.
