Will a 3/8 silicone hose fit on a 1/2 qd barb?

Just wondering because if I don’t have to purchase two sets of hoses that’d be great. Thanks for the input.

It should, with a little encouragement.

It will fit easily. I do it all the time.

Great thanks!

I'd go as far as saying its preferred to use 1 size up. The ID of the barbs is bigger and the stretch of the hose make for a great seal. At that point the clamp might not be required for low pressure uses though I always use them to keep it from getting pulled off when hot.

Good point. Didn’t think about that. Thanks
