I had to do that last fall. Now I was working with 2 inch heavy hose not 6 inch. On the stove I had a BIG pot of rolling boil water. The barb was well lubed with ivory dish liquid. Wear heavy lether gloves. Stick one hose in the boiling water for like 30 seconds. Grab the fitting and push it as far as it will go. Next relube the fitting and then heat the other hose. Same, same and get it on as far as it will go. If you lucked out you got them all of the way on. If not fold the hose a little so you can get it back in the water and then push some more. Helps to have a pet Gorilla or something. If you are out in a remote area an electric hot plate will heat the water enough. I hate to direct heat rubber with a flame cause it is not even heat and can cause damage to the hose. To get a really good grip on the hose you can take an old bath towel and wrap it around and the throw a really big hose clamp around it. Should give you grip and no slip. Good luck !

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
