I had this problem when using teflon hose fittings on regular hose. But I can be pretty slow sometimes...

Teflon hose (note the fitting is 3-piece)

Regular hose- note the hose is marked, and does NOT bottom out on the fitting when tightened up

Yeah I have watched a few videos. They make it look super simple. Stick it in, turn it and it should set right in. I would do that if it actually went in, in the first place. When I tried it, it immediatley started to fray out. Ill try it with electrical tape tonight and see how that works.

 

I always use electrical tape and come in on a angle, if it starts to fray take a flat head push some in. But when i can i use my koul tool but its -10 didnt buy set was pricey.

 

Yeah I was thinking of getting the Koul tool. Does it really make it that much easier? I have -10 so I was going to buy just that one.
