I am having trouble pushing the pipe into the fittings. Is there a lubricant that will help this?

No, no lubricants. What works for me is very hot water. I heat up some water to boiling on the stove then pour it into my Stanley thermos -- keeps it hot for a long time -- and take it out to where I'm working on the irrigation. I pour a cup and dip the tubing end into it for about fifteen or thirty seconds, take it out and push the fitting in. Way easier! Also, work on a sunny day -- the hotter, the better -- and lay your tubing out about thirty minutes to an hour before you start working. The sun will soften it up.
