Once again, EPOXY IS NOT THE SOLUTION!!! Simply using more/better glue on an inferior design is not the answer. No pressure fitting is ever just glued onto the outside of its housing. Find a mechanical means of securing it, using the pressure to compress the seal.

Like a rubber gasket fitted around the tubing?

No, like a fitting that isn't simply tubing jammed/glued into a plastic cap.

Try bulkhead fittings. 1/8 or 1/4 NPT

With this you have a nut & a seal on both sides of a cap. Then you can fit a compression fitting on either end.

Pizzaman... I just think you really need to be honest with fellow HBT'ers and say " I dont want your help or comments, I wanna do it my way and that's it". Most of us here really do come here to learn and help. We havnt learned anything yet, and you havnt allowed us to help either .. have you?

Criticizing an ill-conceived idea is entirely different than a personal attack and name calling.

Step back and actually think about what you are doing. Critical thinking is a good thing in DIY.

Use it.

My apologies to everyone I have offended. I've said some rude things in response to what I assumed were rude comments. If this thread is not locked I'll report back on my cold-weld testing tonight or tomorrow. If it is locked, I'll continue tinkering until I find a solution that works, and I'll post my final "product" in a DIY thread.
