They're fine generally. As long as the tubing is compatible and prepped properly (with the correct tool) push fittings are fine. Very reliable in my experience. I haven't had any failures so far with duo-tight fittings, after a couple years. Quality wise they're not quite John Guest and I suspect my JG fittings are going to last a lot longer. I'm not quite sure about the Eva-Barrier line, though. It's more flexible that other brands of push-fit beer line, but it does seem to stain quickly at the cut ends for some reason.I'm looking into investing in some of this type of beer line.
Any of you using DuoTight push fittings instead of heating the tube and pulling it over the barb?
I've seen them for the ball lock connector on the keg end but need to check if I find the right one to fit my larger tap barbs.
Do they work good?

Edit:
I see now the best option is to remove the barb from the tap and connected this to the shank instead.

Still wondering if they are a good option or not though
