You're welcome. Be careful when installing the parts . The orings are the seal so snug up don't over tighten and crack the acrylic. I pre installed the hose barbs and tighted them using special teflon tape for stainless steel (its infused with nickel ) a must for stainless on stainless

You're welcome, that's one of the things i picked up working around shipboard turbine engines the nickel infused in the tape helps prevent threads from galling. There is other sealant tapes that is supposed to be "stainless compatible" like blue monster tape and are ok when stainless goes to brass or soft steel but for stainless on stainless i only use stainless teflon tape ( blue monster is my go to sealant tape for all other applications)

When i install fittings on chemical meters i always first remove the piece from the meter, connect and tighten the 2 pieces then install the assembly into the acrylic that way i have less chance of damaging the meter. (Learned that the hard way)
