I am looking for the small, white plastic open-end wrench that tightens the nut between the first three stages of an RODI system. I looked online and on Amazon and all I see are the big round ones that are for the cartridge canisters. Anyone know where I can buy one? Thx.

Yes, that is the connection I am looking to tighten. Is it threaded such that if one side is tightened the other loosens? If that is the case, I would need to unscrew the first three stage canisters from the bracket, tighten the nuts and then re-install it. Maybe I'll just throw some silicon sealant in there - it is a very small trickle - thx.

Yes, at this point it would be best to...

disconnect lines from canisters (label them somehow or take pictures to note where they are going)
unscrew from bracket
would be best to remove and re-apply new teflon tape to the nipple (use a needle to remove remnants of old tape)
re-attach all canisters with newly taped nipples
re-attach bracket
re-connect lines.

These small leaks have the potential of becoming larger problems as time goes.
