I am thinking about replacing the tubing to the hand pump and also adding an electric pump. (3-way faucet came with camper [LM55030].)
The inlet from the city connection is through hard plastic tubing (like PEX) with a quasi-compression union at the faucet.
The existing inlet to the hand pump is through soft flexible tubing (PUR/PVC). There is a (traditional) hose barb integral to the faucet. There is a second barb integral to the faucet for the addition of the pump. The existing tubing for the hand pump is susceptible to kinking as the galley is flipped into/out of place.
So...My ultimate question is...
I want to replace the tubing from the hand pump and add a more rigid type of tubing (like PEX) for both the hand pump and adding an electric pump. How should it be connected to the faucet? I dont think a hose clamp will hold it well enough since that type of tubing isnt as flexible. The faucet barbs are plastic so I'm not sure a compression clamp is the right solution.
Looking for thoughts...
