Home Depot or Lowe's should have the part! You may have to get the part with barbed fitting and then modify it to fit. Good Luck.

check Ebay, if you don't find the part on there go to one of the Ebay stores that the RO unit is listed from and sometimes they will have those parts listed seprately.

looks like the threads are broken off inside the housing. You need to remove that with an "easy-out" and you can buy a replacement connector from Bulk reef supply. I may have that connector I will ck to see if I have one for you.

thanks

what u mean easy out?

 

[artie1209]

it grabs while you back out something threaded, plumbers and mechanics use them. you may be able to pull off the cap from the Ro membrane and just use a screwdriver to screw the remenant threw. I do not know if you would have a problem re seating the ro membrane. I have only opened the cap when installing a new membrane.

 

[artie1209]

You should be able to get one "easy-out" for under 10 bucks at your local hardware store. Home Depot sells them too.

 

[artie1209]

I have the fitting. You can have it if you want.
