Best way to attach pneumatic hose to barbed fitting?
I've been using small hose clamps and they just seem to pinch and cut the hose and cause leaks.
Thanks in advance, Dave

I have hose clamps on my air hose fittings. I have thought about the crimps that is used on pex pipe. I have never tried them, but they look neater. I have cut my hand on the hose clamp ends. On oxy-acetylene hoses, I use brass sleeves and a crimper. Maybe someone will have a better suggestion.

A little oil on the barb and then try a hose clamp after the hose is seated.

This is my favorite thread!!!!!!!
A couple of years ago the crimped ring on the air hose failed. I know of no other solution...the hose clamp...I hate it! I keep it wrapped in plastic tape...it's terrible! I use the hose a lot when working at the lathe.
I hope someone has a good suggestion.
Thank you, thank you Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!

Milton makes re-useable ends for air hoses. I get them at CarQuest.
You'll need to know the id & od of your hose.
Easy to put on, put the sleeve over the hose, screw the "barb" in and tighten. No more snags from a hose clamp.

Thanks that sounds like a great idea
something like this I guess: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NTH90560

So you just screw it in and it holds OK?
This is for the attachment to a pneumatic hose reel

Make sure the hose ID and fitting size match. It should be hard to insert hose onto the fitting.. Roly

Ed pegged it. Take a short piece of hose with you and get the right size.

Unbelievable! I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area; my local CarQuest does not stock any size, two major hardware stores do not stock them, Granger carries a different style at a ridiculous price.
At least I know there is a good solution; I will continue the search. I want it today...but there is always Amazon.
