Water pressure Line question

What are you guys using for the water pressure line from the motor to the gauge. I have a rubber line running to the gauge but it keeps blowing off at 20 lbs pressure. Held on only with a tie wrap.

Mine have metal hose clamps. Never have had a line come loose.

1/8" Nylon tubing with compression fittings.
This is only 6' of tubing, but illustrates what you need.
