Alphacool Eiszapfen fittings can just pull the tube off

I have Alphacool Eiszapfen 16/10mm fittings with black Alphacool 16/10 tube / hose

Now the problem is, if I install the tube onto the fitting and then secure the lockring, if I pull a bit (not even that hard) onto the hose, I can just pull the hose off

The fitting is just 2 pieces: barb and lockring: https://shop.alphacool.com/media/image/83/57/aa/1011164_4YHaS4so0LG4L1..jpg

Other types of fittings (like Alphacool HF) seem to come with a metal locking washer that will actually bite into the tube when you secure the lock-ring making it absolutely impossible for the tube to come loose, but these Eiszapfen don't seem to come with that? The brass part here : https://shop.alphacool.com/media/image/57/7d/1c/1023255_4_200x200@2x..jpg

What am I doing wrong here? I don't trust it like this...

HI,

Thank you for the information. THe TPV Tubes are very plain, Therefore we are recommending to use the clamps, which we are offering separately and are listed in the recommend products.
