A sealed coupling system for flexible hose, such as corrugated hose, includes a termination fitting that mounts the sealed system to a static structure, such as a wall or the like. The system uses threaded connections to fix the hose to the fitting and to the structure and thus does not require welding, brazing or the like and has the main components thereof located on one side of the structure.
