To provide a hose intermediate-retaining metal fitting capable of being light in weight and controlling increase of manufacturing costs while coping with both high strength of a bracket securing a firm grip of a hose to a counter-member and flexibility of a socket facilitating clamping for fastening the hose.
A cylindrical socket member 1 and a plate-shaped bracket member 2 having a socket retaining hole 4 inserting and retaining a bolt hole 3 and a socket member 1 are independent each other. Materials of both members 1 and 2 are aluminum or aluminum alloy, and the material of the bracket member 2 has tensile strength greater than that of the material of the socket member 1. Further, grooves 5 are formed on the inside of the socket retaining hole 4. When the socket member 1 is pressed into the socket retaining hole 4, the hose intermediate-retaining metal fitting A integrating both members 1 and 2 is obtained so that the outside of the socket member 1 is crushed and is firmly stuck on the inside of the socket retaining hole 4.
