1. A fitting assembly for a hose, the fitting assembly comprising:
a first hose fitting having a fitting end and an elongated stem that extends outwardly from the fitting end; the elongated stem having a barbed external surface and an internal surface that defines an open fluid pathway through the first hose fitting; an internal diameter of the elongated stem approximating an internal diameter of the hose in an initial manufactured shape of the elongated stem; and
a first retaining collar having a barbed internal surface that defines an opening that extends through the first retaining collar, in an initial manufactured shape; an inner diameter of the first retaining collar opening being larger than an outer diameter of the elongated stem, whereby defining a first retention space to secure a first end portion of the hose when the first end portion of the hose is disposed between the elongated stem and the first retaining collar without first reconfiguring the initial manufactured shapes of the elongated stem or the first retaining collar, directly coupling the first hose fitting with the first retaining collar, and threadably engaging the barbed internal surface of the first retaining collar with an external surface of the hose.
