System and method for connecting a first and second hose coupling, and a locking device
A system includes first and second hose couplings, each having a hose body, an enlarged section integrated with the hose body, and a connecting section that is mobile in relation to the hose body. An intermediate connector includes a central section, a first lateral section and a second lateral section.
