"REED Product Specialist" is WRONG! They are 1/8" barbs/hoses, not 1/4". I went and bought several, now useless, 1/4" barb adapters in advance based on this bogus info. Please forfeit your "REED Product Specialist" title. :\
Hello Brett, the barbs accept a 1/4-inch diameter hose, and the included hoses are approximately 12 inches long.
