A piece of tubing is also called a “hose.” The ridges on hose barbs connect easily to plastic or rubber tubing. The ridges are also called “barbs.” Hose barbs ensure that the tubing is not easily disconnected. A hose clamp attaches and seals tubing onto a hose barb. Hose clamps insure a tight seal between the hose and the barb. Hose clamps prevent the fluid from escaping.en-USPlumbingBTA SkillsArticle
