Re: Why do these connectors always leak!?!

Perhaps you are cutting the tubing poorly or not pushing the tube in far enough?

If you don't already have one pick up a tubing cutter specifically for this purpose.

Also the cut should be straight and not angled.

Also if you are sure the issue is with the connectors it would help to specify which ones?
