You know I have to try now that you've said that. Theory is that the
hose clamp squeezes the steel insert out of the plastic pipe like
toothpaste out of a tube. Once the insert is squeezed out, the pipe
collapses enough to allow the hose to slip off. GoWesty fix is to
stick a brass insert in the hose, clamped in place right in front of
the plastic pipe, so when the steel insert tries to "squirt out", it
runs into the brass insert and can go no further. Very simple.

The stainless pipes are probably tougher, but how much of a beating do
the pipes really take?
