How to Seal a Barbed Hose Fitting
- 1). Push the hose line over the barbed hose fitting as far as it will go. The fit should be tight. You may need to jostle the hose back and forth to get it to fit over the barbs.
- 2). Place a stainless steel hose clamp around the hose at the point where the hose is over the fitting.
- 3). Tighten the hose clamp with a Philips-head screwdriver.
