Fitting ID
What the heck is this thing called and where can I pick one up? I pulled it off my calcium reactor. The small nipple connection is used to feed Co2/ water to the pump thru airline tubing. The threaded end is connected directly to a mag2.
Thanx

It's a needle valve. I doubt that you'll find one locally. Probably need to buy it from who ever manufactured the reactor

If all else fails you could drill and tap a PVC fitting then screw in a nipple.

So nice he said it twice!
BTW - that thing is called a "whatchamacallit", not to be confused with a "thingamajig" or even worse, a "do-hickey". You might get away with using a "whosawhatsit" instead, but generally a "thingamabobby" will work as well.

Personally, everyone on TRT should keep 2 thingamabobbies on hand in case of emergencies, one in case you need it for yourself, and another for one of your non trt frients if they need one.
