Beats using the flaring tool to jury rig a make-shift single-rib 'barb' directly
on the metal tube


Well, the factory has been "jury rigging" it that way since rubber hoses were invented, so I don't see the problem.

They best way is a swaged hose end threaded onto another compression type fitting, like a flare end.

I'm doing neither. I'll try just bending the tube that's there and attaching to existing barbs. I'll post pics when I'm done. I really need to get it out of the garage so I can work on other things.
