i just use mastic dude
no clamps or connectors
takes about 3 minutes with the pipe running through the bag entrance
mastic around the pipe
it cost about 7 dollars a roll and a roll will do about 20 pulls
you can resuse it if you stick the backing tape on back onto it and leave it on the bag
no leaks no hassles

Pauls way works great.

BUT, I do like the quick clamps system, they are really easy.

I used about 1 1/2 inch tube, anything around that will work fine.
Use the same piping for both pieces, the cut one should be a bit over half round, about 3/8 to 1/3 of the circle cut out (leaving 5/8 or 2/3)
If it's too tight to clip together, just cut off some more.
Really easy, and I my ones always have a perfect seal.

Two lengths of wood 1 meter long (or the width of your bag..), two serre-joint woodclamps, roll the bag tightly for a couple of inches, flatten between the two pieces of wood, clamp... (I'll get a picture later, and I'll call you Wout, its real simple..)

honestly mastic or kits clip is easier to handle dave
an you can just run the pipe straight through the bag entrance with mastic
fast is good
