They are super hard to get apart once they are fully wedged in. I had to use channel locks to get some of them apart. And the tubing was still sliding right through them. I did notice on the ones that did slide through that there are some pretty deep scars on the tubing from the slider. You can tell where it slid through the fitting. I was thinking maybe I pulled the tubing too tight and it made the outer diameter smaller causing it to slip. But I'm not the only one out there that likes tight laterals. And these fittings were designed to keep tubing tight.
I'm going to try them again when it's colder out. And see what happens.
If they still slip I'm going to use regular hook fittings.
