You put it over the hose and the hose over the barb , ( use hot water and soak tip of hose to slide it on ) use tool for the clamps to tighten it . There better for hoses be Ouse they apply pressure from all sides .
It requires a special tool meant for Oetiker clamps.

Thanks Bobby I found the tool on Amazon.
BeverageFactory.com buyer beware I guess. They shipped me a disassembled picnic ball lock hose and forgot 1/2 the parts.
Then they ship replacement parts and I need to buy yet another tool which costs more then the assembly...
What a bunch of clowns.

I found a couple of nice photos that show how to install these so I thought I would share.

Right - that's the fancy schmancy tool way 
You can also use a pair of side cutters almost as easily...
Cheers!

LOL
I forgot this is home brewing! I should have made my own tool out of a commercial keg, some random industrial parts and something I found at a yard sale!
