Wrong barb/hose over threads for gas? Quick response needed

dragonlor20 · Sep 15, 2011

Hi guys, so I have been piecing together this jockey box over the last few months and the party I built it for is Saturday. Well my barb fittings for my gas lines are too small for my lines.

What do you think, if I slide the hose directly over the threads on my quick disconnect and clamp it down with worm clamps, will this hold the pressure?

Only way to really tell is to test it out

As it's a relatively low pressure, probably. And if not, you'll know right away. I'd maybe heat the beer line at the end with a hair dryer for a few seconds before tightening the clamps. And maybe 2 clamps side by side...

If it's for the gas just get a foot of the smaller size hose and an adapter splice to the proper gas size. Or just run the smaller hose for the whole gas line.
