Just wondering how do you get the plastic hose pipe out once you cut the ss braid? And is that a better method than a manifold?
Indeed... the Chinese handcuffs of the plumbing world.RichBrewer said:You need to make sure you are not pulling on the SS braid. The harder you pull, the tighter it gets. I had better luck pushing the braid off of the tubing.

A bit of a pain, and it mangles the braid at the connector a little, but it still worked great. Bettter than the Bazooka-T
