I have a device (of my own design) hooked into my pitot-static

The problem is it is too hard to remove. (And I have to remove
it often since my device is still under development).


Replace the barbed fittings with hose nipples. When I can't find nipples
and have to use barbs, I chuck the barb in a drill and file the barbs
down, leaving the one nearest the end but smoothing off its sharp edge.
The hose will go on & off easily with no damage, just like a nipple.


would need some kind of shutoff valve


Small brass valves for tubing or screw-in fittings are available at any
auto parts store.
