No real clamping is necessary and in fact could be detrimental to the joint integrity..I just snugged up the ties between the barbs as it seemed like a simple thing to do that made logical sense as it would control "Potential" hose expansion under heat, not that I believe this is a possibility from what I've read about socketless hose. Just a piece of mind thing is all. No need.
