Can't figureout how to post pics, but I haveheard zero luck finding1" push lock type fittings.

I figured out that the tube fit inside a 1" piece of PVC pipe if I ground the inner diameter out to like sch20. Doing soi was able to leave a 1mm collar in the pipe, and theni notched the silicone tube to have a 2mm wide by 1mm deep groove in it...I then cut the tubein the pipe, and then crazy filled the hell out of it... left it set for 24hrs. I can't pull the tube out of the fitting for the life of me. Right now thisis my only option ot looks like.
