    How about a bulkhead used for RO/DI applications? I have one an it fits 1/4" tubing. The bulkhead hole size is 5/8" I believe...

    EDIT: It doesn't have a ball valve, but you could add one before it. I guess it depends on how you need to set it up. Browse the float valves too, I think it's under accessories at that site. I have one of those on my DI water barrels. It's a float valve with a bulkhead all in one. HTH

    Wow, I didn't know they made bulkheads that small. This would be great for a Nano.
