Did you forget to drill out the T? Depending on if you have the old style which was adjustable via different jets, and the new one, which I believe is set up with a .032 orfice these days...It may come sealed off and need to be drilled..cant remember.

Don't continue spraying until you can make sure the hoses will stay on there. Thats pretty much the same kit I have on my car and I had that problem 1 time.
Solution. Small hose clamps from Home Depot/Lowe's. There like 50 cents a piece. They've stayed on since.
EDIT: it sounds like you've got it hooked up right as well from how your tee is setup.
