Thank you very, very much. one small orientation of the plastic insert made the whole difference for me. I spent hours and hours trying to identify why it was leaking and it seems like the plastic sleeve’s tapered one should face the end of the tube. That fixed it. Thanks again!
This solved my issue, my package came with the brass compress sleeve tapered identically on both ends, I needed to use the plastic one with the tapered side facing inwards. Thanks
This is correctly done. Note the direction of the Delrin sleeve. The tapered side towards the end of thd tube, the bulky side toward the nut. You want the Delrin to wedge into the brass fitting. Also, fully insert the tubing into the compression fitting before tightening the nut. It wasn’t clear if that was done in this example but it looked good enough.
Thank you so much for this clarification. I did this a couple of times and it was leaking and I saw your comment and I wasn’t pushing the tube far enough into the compression fitting. Once I corrected that, not a drop. Thanks!
Could have been clearer on the direction of the sleeve …….not good if it’s the wrong way round …most people would go the other way as you would if there were a ring involved .Put yourself in the shoes of the amateur when making these presentations ……nice effort thank you .
Thank you for saving me 😊. I was missing the plastic ferrule that I had taken off from the old set up. I put it like you showed and the tubing stopped popping off.
Do I need a plastic ferrule when I'm using plastic tubing? The package I bought had a brass ferrule and the tube still slides out no matter how hard I tighten it. Thanks
Just what I needed, thank you for the information… now that the line from the fridge is attached at that end all I have to do Is figure out how to hook it up in between my water filter out and my sink water dispenser in then I will have all the ice I want!
Does the brass insert need to be a glove fit? I’m doing these steps and it’s not staying connected and I swear I bought all the right sizes but something doesn’t seem to be lining up. 3/8 inside diameter tubing and 3/8 outside diameter brass insert but it seems loose
Can you please tell me the make of compression fitting you used. I bought an Everbilt which didn''t include the small washer and maybe as a result of this had a very small leak over time. I would like to try the one you have in the video.
Just bought one of these today, don't know if you have 1 nearby you but at Lowe's it was called a delrin fitting. Tiny little thing found over in the plumbing section near all of the pex pipe connectors..
My Brasscraft compression shutoff valves say in the online info: "On PEX 3/8 in. OD and smaller, use plastic compression sleeve. On tubing larger than 3/8 in. OD, use brass compression sleeve w/stainless steel tube insert." So I'm going by that on my Delta faucet lines.
Hi! Hope you read this message soon, I’ve been trying to find this exact compression fitting and am struggling to find the exact components you have in your video.Could you please point me in the right direction 🤯🙏
Does anyone here know where I can buy brass inserts and plastic rings for these plastic pipes? Looking at screwfix, amazon, bnq, builder depot I can't find any. Only plastic fittings, which from what I understand are made for push fit systems. I live in UK
I found out that the steel compress water lines are better and more durable, I try this one in the video and was junk.not much of different in money either.

oh i see. All I did wrong was everything.
Literally me.
Thank you for sharing. Short, sweet and straight to the point.
Give this video a thumbs up bc I've been doing it wrong my whole life. Never knew what that long insert was for!! Genius!
This was the type of instruction I was looking for. Thank you.
Thank you for your precise, concise and clear presentation.
This was exactly the information I needed! Thanks so much
This solved my issue, my package came with the brass compress sleeve tapered identically on both ends, I needed to use the plastic one with the tapered side facing inwards. Thanks
This literally happened to me tonight. Happy to be wiser now!

So helpful! Thank you!

If you put a little dab of dish soap on the brass insert it will slide right in the tubing.
Saved me a trip to the store thanks!!
Great vid! Also felt like I was in a massage with the music, so relaxed I won't beat up my water line now.
I plan to use this for my RO system so I wont have to drill threw the counter, thanks for the vid
perfect! Thank you!
Thank you for saving me 😊. I was missing the plastic ferrule that I had taken off from the old set up. I put it like you showed and the tubing stopped popping off.
can you use this for softer vinyl tubing? I am trying to create leak proof connection of vinyl tubing to copper tubing.
such a simple but useful video
Can this same technique be used for copper tubing?
thanks. It just helped me.
Thank you for your help 🙏😁
Do I need a plastic ferrule when I'm using plastic tubing? The package I bought had a brass ferrule and the tube still slides out no matter how hard I tighten it. Thanks
Yes

Thank you!
can the hose be cut and parts reattached? I have a crack in the hose where the insert ends.
Okay cool, does this part go into the fridge or the water line under the sink?
Thanks 👍 this worked for me. Definitely need 2 wrenches and I used some Teflon for a tighter seal
So the plastic piece doesn’t not have to be flush at the end of the tube?
can these be reused once you replace the hose?
Does the brass insert need to be a glove fit? I’m doing these steps and it’s not staying connected and I swear I bought all the right sizes but something doesn’t seem to be lining up. 3/8 inside diameter tubing and 3/8 outside diameter brass insert but it seems loose
I'm having the same issue. How'd it go for you? anyone with more experience have any input?
How did you get the insert in?
Thanks!

Thank you so much
What to do when the ring does not quite fit the hose? Can a bigger ring be used?
no
Thank you
Thanks👍
Thanks
Can you use this on compressed air?
No
cool
Where to buy
Home depot

Just to add that I’m trying to connect 11mmO/D 8mm I/D to 6mm O/D with 3mm I/D
Hope you can help :)
Buy them at home depot..ace hardware doesn't carry them
Ace Hardware has them

What about the other part? You didn't show the whole thing.
help me
I like how you didn’t show what a pain in the butt the pin is to get inside lol
Thank you !
Thanks!
