I have a peristaltic pump that was having some leaks because of connections between the tubing so I decided to replace it all with a single piece of tubing. Upon doing this though, I observed that the tubing on the outlet side of the pump was being forced upwards.

My peristaltic pump comes with a base that is made out of plastic. I want to glue something to the outlet side of the pump that will create some friction on the outside of the tubing keeping it from moving. I have some M20 nuts that are just large enough to fit around tubing and might offer the proper resistance if I can adhere them to the plastic.

However, the metal has a black coating on it that might cause some issues, and I am pumping mineral oil so I need to use some glue that will resist that for prolonged use while the pump is on. I'm fine with the nuts being permanently affixed to the plastic. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has some ideas for glues I can use to do this.

Update Here is a picture of the pump from Amazon. Looks like I got the last one. Anyway, the plastic is the black frame around the cylindrical motor. pump

3M makes some unbelieveably strong "doublesticky" indoor/outdoor elastomeric tape that is used to do things like attach chrome trim to the outsides of car bodies. Home Depot sells it in rolls and squares; I do not know if it is mineral oil-resistant but it is worth a try.
