I have a Coralife Aqua-Chill 1/4 HP Chiller, that I bought used for an aquarium. Good thing is that it works, the bad thing is that the inlet and outlet connections are missing.

I have contacted the manufacturer about this and they said that those connections were discontinued about 5 years ago. I'm thinking that there must be some other source of these connections out there.

The best way I can describe the connection is this: A compression fitting to the chiller, that converts to a hose barb.

My ruler says the outside threads are approx. 1&1/4 inches. The inside dimension is about 9/16 inch.

Anyone that can help, please send me ANY leads if you can. Otherwise, I may have to dismantle this chiller and see if I can rig up something else!

Attached are 2 images of the chiller and the chiller fitting I'm talking about.

Thank you for you help

Sorry man, I have never seen this before. A lot of units like this use odd fitting and thread size for some reason, which makes it a total pain to repair down the road.
