Ok, I think I may have figured it out. After twice having my basement sprayed with hot water, are you not supposed to use vinyl for hot water?
I installed a whole house humidifier a couple weeks ago, and everything was ok when it wasn't running much (we had a couple weeks of warm, high humid air). But now that it is cold out, the humidifier is running more and more. I figure the vinyl hose is warming up (I used the hot line) and then it pops out of the fitting. I'm using the right stuff, where you put a sleeve in the tube then tighten it down. The fitting stays on fine with no leaks...but twice I've had to clean up a huge mess when it pulls out.
I'm thinking I need to switch to copper, which is fine. Just need to know if that is my problem.
