I'm needing to find a bulkhead or seal of some kind that could be used for RO or airline tubing. I found these John Guest bulkheads... but it doesn't look like there's an O-ring on the flange side. It needs to be submerged.

Amazon product ASIN B003YKF1SY
Does anyone know of any other ways to have it sealed? I was also looking at a cable gland, but I'm not sure if that would work or not. Thank you!
 
Its Amazon...super easy to return in case it does not have an o-ring. Listings like these are very deceiving, whether its the image, description, or lack of...

I have purchased these before and they definately do not come with o-rings. You could purchase a gasket sheet from Mernards and probably make a nice seal for one though. You could also purchase a 1/2" bulkhead and a 1/2" to 1/4" threaded adapter to screw a threaded to 1/4" RO adapter into.
 
@sundog there's your confirmation. Try McMaster-carr they'll most likely have something if you don't want to make your own gaskets.

Hey, do you have links to these parts or pictures?? Was trying to have an extra RO reservoir line go into my ATO. The storage bin will be place on a metal racking and it’s 27 gallon extra. It will be gravity fed to my 10 gallon ATO with a float valve. The 10 gallon has a tunze ATO.
