If your barbs are sized for 7/16" tubing, use 7/16" tubing. |

^^ They carry it. You can't put larger tubing on smaller barbs. |

If it helps, its 13mm inner diameter (or 1/2") you're after, if I interpreted that set right. It has 1/2" size barbs, so 1/2" tubing (19/13mm) should fit.
Then again if they ship with 7/16" tubing, better get that. Even slightly bigger tubing can lead to leaks. And since those barbs have no lock nut, you're better off with 7/16" tubing.
