Looking for a special air pump.

Does anyone know of an air pump that has a 1/4" airline connection for the intake? Most air pumps have a single 1/4" airline connection for the output only and they have some sort of a filtered hole for their input. I want to have an airpump in my house but run an intake line through my wall to the outside. I can definitely DIY a contraption for this but I was wondering if anyone knew of a pump with this feature.
 
I have an eco air pump that does 38lpm that has that feature. Most of the big air pump's like those or alita's have that feature. I don't know of a smaller air pump that does though.
 
Aqualifter has 1/4" airline in and out. Its sort of an air pump if it isn't pumping water.

Thats not an airpump though. Even though it sucks air, it doesnt do it fast enough to make bubbles through an airstone.
 
You can drill and insert a barb into any airpumps housing, then seal up the normal vent holes. I did this to a luft pump to convert it to vacuum to start siphons :)
