Does anyone have recommendations on where to get a 1/4” bulkhead push connector that is water seal tight?

I need a few of these for my mixing station.

1/4" Push Connect Bulkhead Tank Adapter

The ¼" push connect bulkhead tank adapter is a great solution for connecting ro tubing through hard-walled barriers, such as sump walls or container lids/caps. These come with a plastic nut to secure the bulkhead to the container wall, but do not have a gasket. These are designed for above-water...

Not saying they don't make one but I have never seen one with a gasket.

I saw a post floating around where someone added a common water garden hose gasket and had this sealed pretty well. I'm going to place mine in a place that shouldn't be submerged to be safe + add a garden hose gasket.

Are you sure you need a washer? Can you first try it without a gasket? If you need a washer, order it from Amazon or if one exists in your area a hardware store. I think a nylon or polypropylene washer is what you are looking for

Did you end up installing these on your salt container? considering doing the same but worried about leaking.

I did, but in a slightly different way

I see, you’ve installed the bulkhead vertically. I was thinking horizontally…I was hoping you had done that.

Done it several times for ATO reservoirs by putting down a ring of silicone first then tightening. Just drill them tight and rough the area with sand paper before cleaning with acetone. Oldest one I still have in service is at the bottom of a 20 gallon tote I put together in 2012.

Ignore craptastic photo but this is what you’re talking about correct?

Awesome thank you … should I add a piece of tubing to the end of the bulkhead inside the tank? Or just leave it open(as it will be below the water line)?

If you want the last 1/2 to 1” of water available you need to stub it out. Other wise just the bulkhead works fine.
