Poly tubing will not stay connected
I know this shows my lack of mechanical abilities. I cannot get the poly tube to stay connected. If I push it past the barb the tubing splits and leaks. If I only push it up to the bard the tubing slips off.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The poly is new 1/4 inch. The old poly was too brittle (over 12 years old). I will try the hair dryer idea tomorrow. Do you think the poly is supposed to go past the barb?
Thanks

It's been a couple of days now and the poly has not slipped off. I was trying Brass Conversion Barbed Adapter that
Adapts poly tube to brass fittings without using 1/4" cc sleeve
I used the 1/4" Delrin Sleeve & 1/4" Poly Tube Brass Insert the last time and it sure did not look like it would be better but the poly tubing is holding nicely. After another 5 or so days if no leaks I will consider it fixed. Thanks.

Dont know what PSI you have on the water there. But like for a well and other water lines you still put a hose clamp on it after its over the barb
