I can not get my airline hose to stay on my needle valve firmly. It leaks or just pops off. I have tried to silicone it on, wire tie it on...
I am at my wits end. Every time I think I have it fixed something happens. (thought I had it this time and the cat tripped over the hose and pulled it off!)
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Duh! Do they make them that small? Airline tubing is what, 3/16 or 1/4, something like that. Thanks, I will definately check into that! (goes off muttering about self stupidity.....)

I think so. I've seen them pretty small.

Plastic zip ties work well

(She) and yes I tried the small zip ties. They do work in a couple of spots, but I have one place that the tie keeps popping the hose off. I am headed to Lowe's to see what they have!
