IMHO there are few words missing in the source sentence. The intended meansing is that the system (whatever it is) makes it possible to swage the hoses onto the hose couplings with a consistent (uniform) reduction of the nipple diameter.

@ Saskia: Well, the German grammar I learned would at least require this to be worded as 'Das System erlaubt, dass die Schlauch-Armaturenverbindungen immer auf gleichbleibenden Nippeleinfall verpresst werden können', but I don't claim to be able to write truly natural German (leave alone elegant). I also suspect that 'erlaubt' is not the best choice of verb here.

Note from asker:
| I didn't understand the sentence, so perhaps there are words missing. Perhaps the einfall hints at the reduction in diameter?? |

(From Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)
Nipple

If by (sentence please) you mean that you would like the whole sentence, here it goes =
The system allows for the connection of hose and faucet to always press in at a constant/unvariable nipple coupling
