No. You can figure 1/2" ID tubing with 1/8" wall would be 3/4" OD. Then slide over a barb will be slightly bigger. I would be looking for a clamp that has an opening range of .675-.875 for max. pressure on the hose.

I love those clamps. They are all I use. No repetitive screwing to open and close them. Small physical footprint. About the most even application of pressure all the way around the tube. Unfortunately, finding them is getting harder and harder. Just this past Sunday, I went to three hardware and three automotive stores trying to find some more with no luck.

You could always buy them from McMasterCarr
You could also use these two ear clamps, CLICK they are a ***** to remove though if you plan to take your system apart often, but they look clean when mounted.

Once again NAPA comes through. They had the ones for 1/2 ID tubing on 1/2 OD (3/8 ID) barbs, but I found some at Home Depot that accomodate 1/2 ID tubing on 5/8 OD (1/2 ID) barbs. Bought plenty so I did not have to go through this again

Hoot! I need some of these clamps also. I am using 1/2" ID clearflex60 w/ 5/8" hose barbs; and I was looking at mcmaster.com for some springs clamps, but they didn't seem to have the perfect size.
Please post the home depot part number and specs. Thanks for the heads up!
