Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing
Spanish term or phrase: racorar
Hello,

I'm trying to find an English term for 'racorar'. The context is manufacturing a hose and attaching a fitting onto the end of the hose, but 'racorar' is used in the place of attaching and I think it had a more specific meaning. I've not found it any any dictionary or even the RAE.

Here is a video of someone racorando a hose: http://www.cosasdebomberos.es/secciones/videos/1338-me-ha-gu...

Suggestions appreciated!

Explanation:
The link is for a "hose binding unit" to "racorar" tubes. Try Googling "reduction connector" or reducer also.
