Ussally just push on but if you are worried get a small hose clamp if you can.

There is no clamp used by the manufacturer. It relies upon the elasticity of the rubber hose. Cut about a 1/2" off the hose end so you have fresh rubber exposed and try it again. The end stuck on the TB may be stretched and brittle. If you want you can replace the entire hose as that is available at any parts store on a long roll so you can buy as many feet of it as you like. There are multiple sizes so take a sample with you.

I have found, as a quick-fix... Zip-ties. Until I get fresh hose.

I use colorful zip-ties, this way if I forget, it sticks out next time I open the hood.
