If you want the hose permanently attached, find a hose that fits as tightly
as possible, drill and pop rivet the hose onto the nipple, dab RTV into the
holes and around the top of the hose before you rivet if you want. Safety
wire it tightly above and below the pop rivets, add a hose clamp in the
middle, over the pop rivets, if you feel it will help.

I have a newly overhauled engine. Previously, I had a quick drain with a
barb connector to allow using a hose to drain the oil in a bucket. I just
stuck a lenght of garden hose on the barb and opened it up.

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.
