What size of adapter do I need to connect airline tubing to a RO canister (CO2 scrubber)

[madadium]

I'm in Canada and want to save some money on shipping by making a CO2 scrubber from a 10" RO media canister instead of buying the one that BRS sells. The BRS scrubber comes with an elbow adapter that connects the female end (1/4") of the canister to standard airline tubing. I've searched all over and can't seem to find the adapter I need. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The issue being is I've searched high and low and haven't been able to find it available online on a Canadian website. You can order from BRS but shipping would be... well probably 20 times the cost of the part ;Shifty

Sometimes it's not easy being Canadian, especially in this hobby. Shipping might not be soo bad, but if you're paying it it might be worth it to just order the actual scrubber kit..

That's what I'm thinking. It's gonna come out to a similar cost in the end trying to put it together. Thanks dude

You want an NPT to barb fitting. Look at a hardware store. I am not sure what size

since it wont get wet you could probably get one somewhere like Home Depot that is brass.
