A hose barb is a fitting with ridges or barbs that grip the inside of a hose to create a secure connection, often used with clamps for added security. A hose bead, on the other hand, is a raised ring or bump on a tube or fitting that helps retain the hose, often used in applications where a less aggressive grip is sufficient and clamps may not be necessary.
