Trying to find a 1/4" RODI push to connect, ie) John Guest fitting , in a bulkhead elbow to put on my RODI storage container, but can't find one!! what the heck...

Something like this, https://www.mscdirect.com/browse/tnpla/86840238?&cid=ppc-google-New+-+Hose,+Tube,+Fittings+&+Valves+-+PLA_s2Ji81hI9___164124449255_c_S&mkwid=s2Ji81hI9|dc&pcrid=164124449255&rd=k&product_id=86840238&gclid=CjwKCAjwguzzBRBiEiwAgU0FT49yW-gg3pS6C1s6tRMI_GzCZo1kfLP0VeesOsiAJLt1aHQzoRMOnhoC--cQAvD_BwE

...but only in all plastic. Didn't think a nickle plated brass fitting in RODI water might not be a good idea. Like this...only in a bulkhead....

you could use one of these with a normal bulkhead like this... Should take up the same amount of room, and it swivels to get the perfect angle
Elbow Fitting
Bulkhead

Side note, almost every 1/4" bulkhead I have ever seen isn't water proof on it's own... you normally need to find a little rubber gasket, or my personal fav, a dab of silicone.

You know, i saw one of these, but thought it was a barbed end. But this looks like a 1/4" stem on the 90 that would push connect into the bulkhead. Perfect !! Yay...THANK YOU !

This was driving me nuts !

As far as the waterproofing, I'll just put the fitting above my float valve fitting so it should be above the waterline, but yes, will put on a gasket or silicone.
