5 minutes. That's all it took to build a PTFE line w/ real fittings. I bought Fragola stuff this time around, and it was only marginally more difficult than a regular hose end. All it took to do it (besides the cut off wheel) was what you see.
So, as a review,..this is the second time that Summit branded stuff ended up being junk. Both times however, they made it right and I will continue to buy all my stuff from them, but as a note to self, I will never buy a Summit branded part again.
