Thanks to all who replied but I think for the time being I'll have to wave the white flag and clamp the hose onto it.
I measured the pipe and it measured .310" which is .0025" shy of 5/16". I went to Lowes and struck out completely. I went to ACE as suggested by wowens79 and even though they had a better selection than Lowes I still couldn't find anything that would thread onto it. I saw some 5/16" flare fittings so I bought a nut and a fitting to switch it to 1/4" NPT. When I went to flare it I found that I couldn't put the nut on and have enough room for the flaring tool. I have a tubing bender and tried use it to straighten the bend out so that the flare nut would move on back. Well it's not copper and I wasn't able to take any of the bend out. I even tried to put a little heat to it but no luck.
I ordered a hose which should be here next week so I'll just have to wait 'till then and clamp it up.
Thanks for your clamp info myredracer. I'll do the same thing or something similar.
Thanks to all
