Fitting is made in form of member whose part is located in inner space of hole and metal bush. Ring is located and crimped around outer pat of bush. Uninsulated end of wire is secured between ring and bush. Method of manufacture of bush consists in fitting metal ring of definite diameter on end of hose in required position. Then fitting provided with inner member and metal bush is used. Part of member of fitting is introduced into interior of hose and is crimped by compressing the metal bush in this section, ring is shifted backward on bush, uninsulated end of grounding wire is placed between bush and ring which is crimped, thus securing the end of wire between it and bush.
