Tight fittings

[piplupgao]

So my 1/2 3/4 monsoon compression fittings are really tight (just the compression part not the barb) it is so tight that it is hard to rotate it when I just slide it onto the tube (tube not over barb) does anyone know how I can fix this problem

the tubes and the fittings match each other or did u have a completely different id and tried to put them together?

ok, so what do you want to fix?

 

I mean, if it's compression fittings and when you turn and it compressed really hard isn't it a good thing?
 

no leaks?

 

Just asking so I know what is going on, sorry :(

Its really hard to screw them on like I have to use all my strength

I think that's fine, but maybe because last time I put a compression fitting I more than scrape my fingers...

 

I'd recommend using a glove, it helps a lot :)
