Mine are not the same as yours, but they came with a 2-3 inch long round section at the back that had a raised area at the very end, that you could clamp onto and be sure that it didn't fall off. But I had to make the whole thing shorter (to fit) so I cut that nice raised part off and left only about 1" to clamp onto. Hose clamp is holding really well, regardless. No real stress on that point as far as I can tell.
