Re: Why do these connectors always leak!?!
Don't forget to seat the fitting by pulling on the hose after pushing it all the way in. That ensures the barbs grab on tightly and also forced the collet tighter into the tapered section of the fitting.
You really should not need Teflon tape for a pipe fitting unless you had already used the fittings in question. But it is easy insurance for a leak free and happy day.
