I bought this from Wal Mart for 3.97. My STJ seal fits perfectly!

Contrary to belief that pumping gear is expensive, you can make your own using stuff like this. The key is having the female connectors which you at one time could buy here at newart or at pump toys.

Here's an example of the food saver jar, found at Wal-mart. Use your imagination and keep your eyes open when you are in the sections of
stores that have acrylic containers (like the food saver jars). The pump toys seal is a great addition.

OBX, I like your Wal Mart purchase. Please post some more pics of it and you using it. What is the product name?

Not sure of the product's name, but found it in the Houseware Dept.
Threw away the lid and carefully drilled and tapped the plastic, added a connector and the seal and away you go!

Hi Treefarmer. This tube may look like glass but it is not. It is acrylic and very easy to drill and thread with a tap and die set. Just start with a small drill bit and work your way up to the size of your connector being carefull not to split the acrylic. There are drill bits that you can by at Lowes or Home Depot that will drill glass if you need to.
