ABSTRACT:
A method of attaching flexible tubing used in implementations such as drying buildings after flooding or irrigation. The method comprises forming a hole in a first line of flexible tubing, positioning a second piece of flexible tubing about a connector, and positioning the connector into the interior of the first opening with the second tubing positioned there about so that the pressure in the first tubing presses the connector against the inner wall thereby capturing the second tubing between the connector and the inner wall of the first tubing.
