In the cut in the tube approximately 3 inches from the bottom of the tube we will install the “T” fitting. Use a little silicone to insure the joints are leak proof.

Next up we will be connecting our air feed to the reactor coil. The first step we need to do is go obtain an 8 inch length of our tubing. This will be nearly the same size as the threaded portion of our brass fitting. Simply insert the end of the fitting into the tube. I used a hand wrench to screw this into the tube. Add a zip tie tightly around the tube overlapping the fitting for a leak proof seal.

With the barbed fitting installed in the hose simply push it onto our inline fitting.

Now onto electrical. Using some epoxy glue the electrical connector to the center of the top plate of the base. Drill a hole for the wires from the transformer at the bottom of the connector.
