I am to assume that the pipes that pop off are not swagged?

If not then a good alternative to swagging and pipes popping off is to indent the ends of the pipes at 3 or 4 points from the inside out to prevent blow offs. Just use a cold chisel and this will stop that. obviously swagging is better as this will help seal the pipe under pressure, but this is a good alternative.
:agree:

Its a mix between stainless pipe and cut up standard gtt hosing lol ..the stainless pipe has a rim at the edges to stop them slipping off ..its the joiners that keep popping off if that makes sense...reason im thinking using better hose clamps would sort this :D

Just a note - I have used normal jubilee clips (I doubt they are even stainless!) with the above mentioned 'swagging' and held 50+ psi in the boost circuit for over an hour with no drop in pressure at all.

A member saw my clamps and after trying to convince me to spend my cash on 'Mikalor' items has had no end of trouble getting his to hold more than 10psi has had to accept that it will leak if only a little.

It's not what you've got, it's what and how you choose to use it!
