Don't know myself, but I brought them today so will find out. But no doubt Paul will answer it before the post comes!

:)

The barbs are 1/4", so just over 6mm.

They fit 6mm ID hose no problem and we have a number of customers who successfully use them with 8mm ID hose and report they can get a good seal with an o clip.
