Barbed fittings are used for lower pressure applications with flexible tubing, like rubber, vinyl, polyethylene, polypropylene, and others - think tap lines and soda fountains. Because they’re insert fittings, they’re sized by the inside diameter (ID) of tubing. Fortunately, most tubing has the ID printed right on it, making it easy to find the right size.
Installing barbed fittings is simple, as well: simply push the fitting inside the tube, and use a hose clamp to secure the seal. There are times when the fit is so tight, it seems like the clamp may not be necessary; don’t be fooled! The last thing you want is a leak, or for the whole thing to pop out. If you’re having trouble getting the fitting inside the tubing, try using warm water to make the end more pliable.
Clamps have a size range (e.g. 3/8" - 15/16") - choose yours according to the outside diameter of the tubing you’re working with. Make sure you have enough clamp not only to fit around the tubing, but also to tighten it (using a screwdriver).
