Help finding Coralife Aqua-Chill Chiller connections

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

I have contacted Oceanic about this, since they own Coralife I guess, 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 discribe 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

Best bet would be going to a home depot ,lowes or any hardware store and match them up!

 

Hey thanks, I did all that. Looked at pvc, cpvc, pvc spa flex, sprinkler/irrigation connections and compression fittings, etc. I'm still looking, in the meantime.
Thanks

 

Did you find any replacements? i have the same problems - i found some on 1/4 HP CHILLER FITTING KIT
but i dont know if its the right fit - looks the same to me

 

I'm not sure where you are located but contact a company that sells water treatment and chlorination equipment to municipalities abd industrial users. We use the same compression fittings in vacuum/gas chlorination systems for drinking water disinfection. What size tubing fits inside the fittings?
If its 9/16" you probably need them for 1/2" tubing which is very common with chlorinators. Wish I still worked for the city, I had a shelf full of them in that size.

Here is one supplier, there may be more if you search Parker fittings.
Parker® O Ring/Grab Ring Tube Fittings Category | Parker Tube Fittings, Parker O Ring Fittings and Parker Grab Ring Fittings. | U.S. Plastic Corp.

 

So it looks like this

 

Use 1” threaded PVC.

This same thing has happened to me so I removed all the stock fittings and used 1" threaded PVC unions with 3/4" hose barbs in place of the factory parts.

Hope that helps.
