Unfortunately, they seemed to be out of barbed fittings for the connections. They used typical PEX fittings, and clamps. Leaks randomly appeared throughout. The first few I changed replaced the crimp rings with gear clamps. This solved the problem, short term, but I eventually changed out every brass fitting that had vinyl connected to it. ***UPDATE 2006 3500 SRW MegaCab pulling a 2007 fleetwood 5'er time2roll • View posts Southern California Senior Member Joined: 03/21/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 03/27/20 09:23pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Hose clamps are for rubber engine radiator hoses, not house plumbing. 2001 F150 SuperCrew 2006 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHLS 675w Solar pictures back up Darryl&Rita • View posts Grande Prairie, Alberta Senior Member Joined: 03/15/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 03/28/20 02:20pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Vinyl tubing is for fish tanks, not pressurized plumbing.

Soaking the end in some hot water for a few minutes makes it very flexible for a bit. 2019 34' Minnie Plus Travel Trailer San Diego, CA Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Prev Open Roads Forum  >  Tech Issues  > Flexible PEX hose.
