When using Aeroquip push on (socketless) fittings
![](http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/images/uploads/4640_1742_large.jpg)
i've seen them used with no extra retention

and with retention

It just seems wrong to not have some form of clamp on the end of the hose once it has been pushed onto the fitting.
Which way is correct?

It is MORE likely to fail with jubilee clips on. As you tighten the jubilee clip it compresses the hose onto the barbs and cuts into it creating a weak point.
In summary - no jubilee clips![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I personally find putting the hose into a cup of boiling water for about 5 minutes makes it a lot easier to get onto the fittings.
In summary - no jubilee clips
