Re: Pressure tubes disconnecting
All of the above suggestions are good, to repeat:
  • Cut the ends straight and clean
  • Insert it all the way
  • Give it a tug to seat it well
  • Don't have tension on the tubes, keep them loose
  • If the tube has been inserted a few times, replace it

And I'll add one that I found in our kit of bits
  • DON'T BE MIXING METRIC AND IMPERIAL!
