JBJ chiller fittings needed

[mrfixer]

JBJ 1/4 hp chiller..There has to be an inexpensive place to purchase water hose fittings ? Looked at Ace hardware and home Depot nothing fits. Any help would be great

What fitting are you looking for? Are the existing ones broken and you’re trying to replace them? What model is the chiller, Arctica?

 

[mrfixer]

Arctica DBE200 at least 2 complete assemblies

That type of fitting
probably not

Have you tried calling the company?

Looks like a proprietary fitting to me. Been in the hobby over 40 years and have never seen a fitting like that but, agree $100 is ridiculous. Wonder if you could macguiver something?

Yeah I looked at Ace hardware home Depot have to check Menards metric threads.

Oh, they’re metric?

Thanks I have those in my Amazon list. With 2 of the nuts and seals up to $90+ thinking maybe somebody out there found them cheaper.
