Quick connect for airline tubing?

[Polarcollision]

Google is letting me down - does anyone know if these exist for standard 1/4" airline tubing?

I didn't know which you would prefer with or without ball valve.

Problem those are designed for 1/4" OD tubing and usually for rigid tubing at that. The 'standard' airline tubing is actually 3/16" ID and can actually be larger than 1/4" OD depending on who you buy it from.

Thanks for the tips you two! I really appreciate it. Marquiseo, would the second link item be similar to what I have on my Spectrapure RODI unit? If so I can just see if the airline tubing fits before buying. Crossing fingers - this might be exactly what I need.

Does it have to be quickly removable?

Somewhat. I will be disconnecting often to clean the hatchery the airline tube is attached to. Idea?

[Polarcollision]

will this work? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007G9I1RW/ref=ox_sc_imb_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3OXQWQJ6RTQRT

I don't think it will work. The quick connect fittings need a stiff tube o seal well.

 

You might be able to use a stem to hose barb connector. This one might not be the exact one you want based on the fitting size and the hose size, but the stem goes into the quick connect and the hose obviously goes on the barb.

Yeah, I need something that can disconnect easily. That looks like it is made to be permanently attached
