[QUOTE=I tried to get 7/16" ID tubing over the 5/8" OD flares of a 1/2" copper tee, and the tee is just too darn big. How did you do it?[/QUOTE]
Try using a tiny bit of dishsoap on the fitting.

I ended up using an old bottle of 99.5% glycerine I had lying around, works pretty good as a lubricant... I slabbered it all over the fitting and in the tubing and eventually I got it on... I'm such a weakling.![]()
Using dish soap is a great idea too, thanks. I would've tried that if I didn't have the glycerine.
