This is different type hose - not ridges and nowhere near as flexible.

If you are concerned...hose clamps are cheap and easy to install. Back up
your connections with stainless steel clamps, bury and forget.

Couldn't hurt, but this pipe is so stiff I wouldn't think clamps would
compress it enough to seal things. It's almost as stiff as regular pvc
pipe.
