Where to find 1/4" fittings?

[kristonenicolas]

So I ordered the wrong fittings and I'd hate to do it again so I thought I'd ask here and see if I can get any help.

I'm trying to hard plumb my Aquamaxx FR-SE Media Reactor but I can't find the right fittings for it. Do they even make any fittings smaller than 3/8"?

Where are you located?.. Those fittings are typically available in any hardware/home improvement store in the US from what I've seen..
They could be metric though..

Need more info. The fact it uses o rings leads me to believe it's straight threads for one thing, not anything like a NPT fitting.
Second thing is which straight thread?

As an example the fittings on my Aqua Medic HR400 used 1/4 BSPP threads so had to get them "China direct"....

Can't find an EXACT pic of how it's assembled..and of course no info on the thread type..

"IF" metric 12mm you have 3 thread pitch choices.. X1, X1.25, X1.5

So the problem I'm running into now is that two 1/2" PVC pipes and their fittings wont align with the existing holes because they're too close together.

Sounds like you will need 2-45's to offset one pipe.
