I'm trying to set up a 37 gallon trash can that will hold ro water. It will be used for storing the water and also for my osmolator top off. I am looking for some bulkheads for 1/4" tubing to be mounted on the side of the trash can. I don't know where to get them. I've been to Home Depot and they did not have any. I'm not sure if any LFS stores in town have them..... Trying to knock this project out this weekend so if anyone knows a place to get them, that will help me out. :)

If you are using the float switch for a RO/DI system, then you can just drill a whole, and it mounts through the hole and the tub connects to that.

You can also get the elbow or something liek that and drill a small hole and put it through and screw it down and connect the tube to it.

Never seen bulk heads that small.
