Something like this?

We just have to find the male side.

Oh that's it! I went to the manufacturer's website and found the other side as well. Part #s PLCD14004 and PLC14004. Kinda pricey but exactly what I want. Thank you!

@Malcontent linked to the manufacturer, but I couldn't really find what I needed there. This is it though!

They might... But what is at the other end of the blue tube? If it just sits freely in the sump, you could put a valve on that end and remove the ATO with it still attached.

The other end goes to a float valve in the sump.

I purchased from Supply Home dot com, the White Acetal Push in Couplers. They were missing on my Life Reef Skimmer, I believe they have the Ones that Seal when disconnected.

Measure to be sure but you should just be able to run a tap down the barb fitting and thread it. Personally I would still just stub out a shut off valve so even if it wore out or broke you could swap in a new one for fifty cents and 10 seconds of your time.

I might just do the shutoff valve and see how it goes. I'm happy someone helped me find the exact part I was looking for, though.

This is a great place

Poly tubing is too stiff to fit on those barbed connections.

Run the tubing under hot water for a bit and push it onto the barb.

You’re not an engineer by any chance are you?

Went to college for it, but no lol

I get it. I have guys who spec 0.0001 when 0.001 would be fine. Or in your case all about that MTBF. I’m the same way but somethings it just doesn’t matter.

There is still a metal spring in the colder disconnect FYI.

Depending on vol of tank size, that tiny piece of Stainless may not impact anything, but to a nano, it can.

We used to use those in PC water cooling. EK still uses them in some of there all in ones sets.

But just a FYI to someone who has a phobia to metals.
The valve malda pushins have no metal, its all plastic, which is why going that direction, is probably the preferred direction to most people.
