Default Bulkhead to 1/4" Push Connect Adapter?

Does anyone know where I can get a bulkhead (not purchased yet, so size doesn't matter) to 1/4" push connect adapter locally? This will be for the auto-topup we're building.

I can order one online, but I don't want to pay $20 shipping for a $5 part.

Two parts:

1) - 1/2" threaded bulkhead (usually most LFS have them)
2) - 1/2" Male NPT to 1/4" tubing quick connect fitting (most home depot stores carries them)

Awesome! Thank you

Hopefully it'll be easy to find. It took me an hour and three associates to find "egg crate" the last time I was in.

Would this work in a bulkhead (of the single threaded variety, not double threaded)?

I think it should.

Not really... Those are meant to push in to a larger John Guest style fitting (it's a JG to JG adapter).

What you want is a reducing bushing in the case of a nonthreaded bulkhead - slip (to fit inside the bulkhead, and you have to cement them together same as for any other PVC connections) to threaded (that you then thread the JG-to-threaded adapter into).

Okay . . . how about this?

I'm pretty sure that's it. I passed over it the first time as I thought it went 1/4" threads --->1/2" Quick Connect, but I'm pretty sure it goes 1/2" threads --->1/4" Quick Connect.

The Country Hills Home Depot (a stones thrown from my place) seems to have a lot of this stuff in stock, so maybe I should just go wander around the store for a bit.

That's the fitting I mentioned yes.
