Default Help! Vertex RO-DI 90 degree Elbow

I broke the 90 degree elbow connecting the carbon to the RO membrane. It is a 1/4" adapter for the hose with a threaded end going into the cap, I am looking for a replacement solution,where I could get something similar? Thanks for looking!

Try Home Depot or EMCO.

I have a similar unit to yours and I don't see in your picture how you broke it. It's supposed to have an o-ring on the male threads to the RO inlet. It bottoms out in an awkward position, but it's supposed to seal on the o-ring.
What is wrong with yours ?

That picture is just for reference off of meleevs reef, I snapped the connector where the thread starts, and yes there is a o-ring that goes between the cap and the adapter. Thanks for the help so far, I'll check out home depot and other plumbing places and hopefully find something.
