Paul, You're dealing with such tremendous pressures here, all you need
to do is put a little soap on the barbed fitting & push the line on--- it will conform to the barbs enough that it won't blow off until you reach 0.5Mach.--leave the clamps off. Actually I already tried that solution, but the clamps are not the problem. If I push the tube all the way on the fitting it is amazingly hard to pull the tube off. I can usually do it outside the airplane, but not lying on my back reaching up under the instrument panel. I end up just cutting the tubes off, but there is a limited number of times I can do that before the tubes will get too short. Perhaps if I don't push the tube on all the way ... But it would be a fine line. Or perhaps Tygon isn't the right stuff, and another tubing type would make it easier? Still I think a fancier fitting might be appropriate. ~Paul |
