I now have this quick drain that has no barb connection. I don't see any
threads to put a barb connection. I would guess I'm probably not the only
person in the universe that has this problem.

Any suggestions? Thanks.


If it's just an issue of the end of the hose slipping off the smooth
fitting, here's a suggestion.

First, you need to experiment with various rubber/plastic tubing sizes to
find one that fits as snugly as possible. Then, put an O-ring around the
end of the tubing where it slips over the quick drain fitting. The O-ring
should be of a size that slightly compresses the tubing, providing a
clamping pressure on the quick drain fitting. You may find it useful to cut
a groove around the tubing in order to keep the O-ring in place.
