cale: thanks for the picture. I'll hunt for them at a nearby HD.
caesy,ruglu: very clever! If I can't find the parts, I'll try this.

Thanks

I'd also suggest picking up some 1/4 tube (same stuff used for fridge kits and humidifiers) at HD, much better for your application than the softer airline.

My Vertex RX4 came plumbed for 1/4", it hasn't been an issue in the year and half I've been running it.
