If you're using aluminum tubing as hose fittings, take a look at the attached picture. This is a neat little gizmo from Earl's that forms a bead on the end of the pipe. I just stumbled across these online yesterday, so I haven't ever tried one.

I heard that the Earl’s tube beader does not work well; although I have personally not tried it.
