I just sealed the end of a piece of 6mm tube, then soldered the tube into the section above the dephlagmator :handgestures-thumbupleft: ( I always copy Mac :mrgreen: )

Stick it in a cork? Removable, a bit budget style though :(

I suspect what I've done is what kimbo is suggesting....here we use 3/8"od tube to connect faucets to the shutoff vavles (call them hard supplies, or solid risers) in any case, a 6" piece is about 2 dollars. Pinch one end closed,solder it up, dirt cheap well! Install where appropriate and game on!

Spot on Tickle, that's exactly what Kimbo is saying just in 1/4" pipe. It works a treat. :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:
