The standard barb fitting has an OD over 1-3/16. The 1” fitting is too small. What am I doing wrong. There is no way to get the fitting into the hose even with heat to soften the rubber.
What type of fittings are you trying when you say standard plumbing fittings ? Bronze or plastic ? That could be the problem here.
