Removing tubing from a Spunding blowtie

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

Without breaking it, how do you remove tubing from the exit side of the blowtie valve? I was trying to see if the tube would fit, pushed it in and now I can't get it out. Help!

I don't have a blowtie, sorry, pictures may help...

Push in to the valve, hold the collar back with your fingers, pull the tube out. It can be a little tricky with duotight fittings

Thanks. This one had me stumped.

Save your fingers, get the tool.

If you cut it, you still have to get stub out of the fitting.
Those fittings are designed to allow removing the tubing

The tool helps removing tubes in addition to cutting

Thanks all. I'm all set. @Sunfire96 got me where I need to be. It all worked out.

Ok i just saw the cutter on it.

I always just used needlenose pliers

First time for everything .

I use a shifter opened over the line and push that back down if it's ever tricky to get out.

Giving credit where it's due @jschein suggested it

Oh, that! I actually have one of those, didn't know it was called that. If I ever have a duotight connection that doesn't want to release the tube I use a an adjustable wrench, or an appropriately sized spanner/open end wrench to pull the sleeve back.
