| I would encourage users to follow the OEM's recommendations.
Having said that I would also caution to very sparing use any glue, or sealant on a corrigated hose.
I have, on more than one ocassion, found wings that failed to hold pressure because there was a small "sheet" of sealant that peeled off the elbow or inflator connection and ended up fouling either the OPV, or Oral inflate button.
We don't use any sealant on our hoses. The Thermoplastic elastomer used to make the hoses is a blend of polypro and rubber. Nothing sticks to polypropylene, that's what adhesive dispensers are made of.
We use two zipties with stainless locking tabs on each end of the hose.
