What are the advantages of compression fittings over hose clamps?
compression fitting advantage: easy to install, looks good, safest fitting ever disadvantage, tube ID and OD need to be exact in order to fit in. realatively more expensive barb fitting advantage: as long as the tube ID fits the barb, you can use any wall thickness of tube disadvantage: looks ugly to me, clamps doesn’t feel as safe as using compression fitting, although i have never had any problem with using barb before.
