n electrically heated device is attached adjacent the hose connector 9 using a clip-on device 27 is attached onto the hose connector 9. In this example the electrically heated device 26 is a PTC element integrated in the clip-on device 27.

The clip-on device 31 has an open U-shaped cross- section and a length substantially equal to the extension of the hose connector from the outer surface of the end seal 15. The width of the U- shaped cross-section is selected to allow the clip-on device to be fitted over and in relatively close proximity to the hose connector. The clip-on device 31 and the hose connector 8 are provided with co-operating grooves and protrusions (not shown). If a standard hose connector is used, then the clip- on device is arranged to be snapped onto the body of the hose connector. A heated device integrated in such a clip-on device would enclose the hose connector on three sides
