a flexible hose ( 2 );

a sleeve-shaped hose connector ( 3 ) having a first hose connector part-region configured as a connector port ( 4 ) that projects from a hose opening that is provided at an end side of the hose ( 2 ) into a contiguous hose end region of the hose ( 2 ) and a second hose connector part-region ( 6 ) which projects beyond the end side of the hose ( 2 ), an encircling seal retaining collar ( 7 ) is located at a free end side of the second hose connector part-region ( 6 ), the encircling seal retaining collar ( 7 ) projects about a circumference, and an annular flange ( 8 ) is provided on the second hose connector part-region ( 6 );

a union nut ( 9 ) that engages behind said annular flange ( 8 );

an annular seal ( 10 ) provided between said annular flange ( 8 ) and the seal retaining collar ( 7 ); and

a filter screen ( 12 , 12 ′) assembled on the seal retaining collar ( 7 ) of the hose connector ( 4 ) at an end side region thereof that faces the hose connector ( 4 ).

2. The hose line as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the filter screen ( 12 , 12 ′) is configured as a filter cap.

3. The hose line as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the filter screen ( 12 , 12 ′) on the end side region thereof that faces the hose connector ( 4 ) has at least one retaining element, configured as an inboard retaining flute or retaining groove ( 13 ), said at least one retaining element engages behind the seal retaining collar ( 7 ).

4. The hose line as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the retaining element is configured as an annular seat ( 14 ) which is molded to the filter screen ( 12 , 12 ′), said annular seat ( 14 ) on an internal annular circumference thereof includes the encircling retaining groove ( 13 ).

5. The hose line as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the filter screen ( 12 , 12 ′) is releasably assembled on the seal retaining collar ( 7 ).

6. The hose line as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the filter screen ( 12 ) at least in a part-region thereof that faces away from the hose connector ( 4 ) has a conical shape or a truncated cone shape.

7. The hose line as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the filter screen ( 12 ) has a cylindrical filter area on an external circumference thereof.

8. The hose line as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the filter screen ( 12 ) further comprises spacers ( 20 ) molded to an external circumference of the filter screen ( 12 ′) on the cylindrical filter area.

9. The hose line as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the annular seat ( 14 ) is molded as a flange to the filter screen ( 12 , 12 ′).

10. The hose line as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a maximum diameter of the filter screen ( 12 ) in a region of the annular seat ( 14 ) is dimensioned such that the annular seal ( 10 ) has an annular zone ( 15 ) that is disposed between the annular seat ( 14 ) of the filter screen ( 12 ) and an internal circumference of the union nut ( 9 ), and an annular or sleeve-shaped end side of a neighboring line portion is adapted to be brought to bear on said annular zone ( 15 ).

11. The hose line as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hose line is a sanitary hose line which is adapted to connect an outlet fitting or a water dispenser point to an angle valve.
