The beading of low pressure/vacuum tubes is the common approach when slipping a rubber hose over the tube with a clamp. Some times you will find fuel line fittings that will require a double flare to connect the tube. I’ve put a hose with a clamp over a double flared tube and it worked but the double flare was not designed for this application. The tube bead gives a raised smooth surface for the hose to seal on and help prevent the hose from slipping off. The double flare isn’t as smooth and not designed for a rubber hose to be used. If I was concerned about the hose sealing or coming off under pressure and the tube had no bead I would push the hose a little further on the tube and use two clamps.
Hope this answers yore question for you
