A pressure tank connector apparatus is described, including a fitting body having an integral hollow sleeve portion projecting from one end thereof adapted to extend into an opening in the tank wall and be crimped about an internal flange or lip portion of the tank wall surrounding such opening with a sealing ring of elastomer compressed between a gripping flange portion of the fitting and the tank. As a result, the crimped tank attachment is positioned within the tank so it is protected from vandalism or damage from other causes. The pressure tank connector is coupled by an improved coupling to a flexible conduit such as a hose for supplying compressed air or other gas from the tank to an external device, such as the air brakes of a truck or other vehicle.
