Die XXXXX Kupplung mit Regulierventil dient zur stufenlosen Regulierung und Absperrung des Wasserdurchflusses im ***Schlauchverlauf***. Die Kupplung wird als Verbindung zwischen zwei Schläuchen eingesetzt. So können Sie den Wasserdurchfluss direkt am Schlauch regulieren oder absperren. Auf diese Weise ersparen Sie sich den Gang zum Wasserhahn, um dort die Wassermenge zu dosieren. Das Regulierventil eignet sich beispielsweise ideal zur Regulierung der Reichweite eines Regners.

: Yes. but put the noun at the end, as hose is an 'adjective' in this case.

: That would imply a special setup of multiple hoses. There is no evidence of that.

throughout the hose
... shutting off water flow throughout the hose

hose set(-)up
As I see it, the emphasis is not on the layout of the hose but on the fact that the flow of water can be regulated and shut off in the hose set up itself so the gardener does not have to return to the tap each time.

in the hose itself
My take.
That means most of the resistance to flow is in the hose itself and the energy involved in accelerating the water at the end of the hose is not very large compared to the amount dissipated in the hose.

hose
I used the Gardena hose product catalogue that shows the same text in German as well as in English.
The "Schlauchverlauf" is nothing but a wordy expression for the hose.
See the German product listing at:

Imagine also how different this sounds for the consumer reading the text if one uses "hose" instead of the offered alternatives. The text is flowing more naturally. There is no real need for specifying, so translating the "Verlauf" part of the word. It is implicit.

: CL5 gives you unjustified (IMO) and unfair advantage, hence disagree. // I disagree that this is the "best possible answer", which is how I interpret your 100% confidence (CL5). That's all.

Discussion
This indeed suggests a system of hoses, i.e. a hose system.
So 'hose' is sufficient to cover any situation, be it a one hose sprinkler or a system with multiple hoses. This merely describes the functioning oif teh device with one hose not multiple hoses.
To show the difference, here are images as examples of what a single hose sprinkler and a whole hose layou with sprinklers would be:
