Cool. I used the first one (nail) and it was loose.

The screw type should work if I add plastic expander.

Have u used the screw type and is its opening right for 1/4" OD tubing?
 
I've only used the nail ones but you're right, they pop out easily. Any where I can I nail it into wood. Door casing, shelving; stuff like that.

You can also drill a hole in the ceiling and run it above the ceiling.
 
It should be thick enough. I regularly tap .065" material but that is stainless steel not ABS. If you can tap it, that would be much better than simply inserting it into the pipe.
 
Yes I think it is thick enough. Home Depot didn't have the tap. Thank you for offering to let me borrow. Might take you up on that.

I have found yelliw sediment inside 1/4” tubing in both nsw and drain lines. Overtime they got blocked real bad.

I thus use 3/4” pvc pipe for the section inside wall and in crawl space. 1/4” tubing only at tank and garage where i can easily check and replace.

You got build up from the RO drain line or a drain line from your tank?
 
Two lines: drain line from tank (not surpring), and new salt water line from brute can to tank (surprising).

The build up is most obvious where there is a u shape (where sediment can collect).

I’d say I need to change the lines every 4 months (running at 3-5 gallon/day).
 
So I built this fitting to connect between the 3/4" pipe and 1/4" the peristaltic pump. The slip between clear tubing and the white fittings will not be glued, so I can slide the fitting out to replace the 1/4" tubing when needed.
