Terry,
"how did you know about any barbed issue??"
ANY hose on ANY pipe, under pressure will come
off unless it has something to bite into. ANY "good" mechanic
will tell you this. Its not rocket science, you just have to
have been around mechanical things long enough. If you
simply look at the original equipment on ANY vehicle,
no manufacture, uses just a flat strainge pipe. Those
barbs are expensive and require special tools, but are needed.
Sorry to put a damper on thing here, but with out a barb,
these are more prone for problems, and inferior to original
parts, that I'm not interested in. Unless you have some
special way to contain the hose the pipe.
Your turn....
