kink protection
I agree that 1,870 hits for "hose" + "kink protection" is underwhelming rather than overwhelming, but if you bear in mind that the expression "hose protector" has 30,000 hits, while saying almost the same (as understood by an ENS), I think it is your option whether you use the "kink" or not - it being understood that that would be the purpose mainly served by a "hose protector"...
