As I recall on my pump, the hose threaded INTO the base of the pump, or the fitting there was so short that it really would not serve as a hose barb. I realize that I could have most likely found some sort of fitting to screw on there to conver to a hose barb to allow me to all my own hose and base, but I had a gift certificate to my LBS and just used that to pick up a new pump.
