Bottling bucket- spigot is too large for tube!

[Yooper]

I must be missing something- my spigot on the bottling bucket is pretty big. My tubing that I've been using for racking is way too small to fit over the opening. Do you buy larger tubing for the spigot, then attach it to the smaller tubing? or is there an adapter type part? I have a feeling that I'm asking a very stupid question, so please bear with me!

Thanks!

Will your normal tubing fit inside the larger one? If so, overlap them about 1/2 inch. Be sure to wet the pieces first.

You could also heat them up, as in REALLY hot water. that tubing becomes pretty malleable when it's hot. then just slip it over the spigot, and maybe add a hose clamp for good measure. This is provided that the ID, and the OD of your tubing are even remotely close.
